“We continue to think hard about the diversity of content of cultural events,” says Maija Moira Mazanova, creative director and head of cultural space “M/Darbnīca”.
“This creates a saturated and smooth modern cultural environment for both ourselves and our guests, which is also the creative goal of our cultural space. Of course, we still place the greatest emphasis on music that lives close to the world of jazz.
December is a holiday month for us, and various events will take place almost every day, so I invite culture lovers to follow the calendar of events!”
The exhibition hall “M/Gallery” also operates in the cultural space “M/Darbnīca”, where the exhibition of 19 young Latvian artists “Christmas Edition Vol. 2”. More than 50 works can also be purchased at reasonable prices. The exhibition will be open until 30 December.
