CAC Sculpture Yard

The renovated CAC Sculpture Yard hosts the exhibition of sculptures by Antanas Gerlikas, Donatas Jankauskas, Žilvinas Landzbergas, Mindaugas Navakas and Pakui Hardward. The CAC Sculpture Yard is conceived as a new and changing creative space under the open sky for artists’ spatial initiatives. By establishing the Sculpture Yard the CAC is returning to the initial idea of the architect of the CAC building (the former Art Exhibition Palace, opened in 1968) Vytautas Čekanauskas, who was planning to assign this open area exactly for exhibiting sculptures. With the returned primary function this yard emphasizes the unity of the whole architectural ensemble, which is considered to be a valuable heritage object. It is not only a new exhibition space of the CAC, but also a new public space accessible for all people in the day time – an open city square in the middle of Vilnius’ old town.
