Have you ever traveled along such a coastline—where the mountains are low, yet cascade gently toward the sea; where the ocean is never far, yet unfolds anew with every turn? Have you ever noticed the villages scattered between bays and tidal flats, sustaining a slow and steady rhythm shaped by tides and monsoons?Have you ever truly seen the night sky— when artificial lights recede, and the sea and the sky nearly merge as one? Have you ever imagined, along this coastal road, a small station called "Zi · Pillowing the Stars"— and, stepping inside, what kind of encounter might unfold?

A journey through mountains and sea, unfolding alongside time—begins here.

The Administration of the Palanga City Municipality has announced an open architectural design competition for the future "House of Arts" gallery in Palanga, located at Vytauto Street 16.
A contemporary art gallery today is no longer merely a place for exhibiting artworks – it is a dynamic cultural platform open to both the local community and the wider world. Such spaces bring together art and people, fostering dialogue, creativity, and inspiration.
The planned art gallery in Palanga represents a significant step in the city's cultural development. The project aims to enrich the identity of the seaside resort by introducing a contemporary cultural venue that meets international standards.
Competition Objective
The objective of this architectural competition is to identify a design solution that combines contemporary architectural expression with the unique identity of Palanga.
The building should become not only a gallery but also a distinctive architectural landmark – a place that attracts visitors and invites them to return.
The project is expected to create an aesthetically compelling, functional, and visitor-friendly environment that meets the highest standards required for contemporary art spaces.
The competition seeks to select the architectural concept that best meets the architectural, functional, and technical requirements specified in the competition brief and its annexes.
The future Palanga Art Gallery is envisioned as an open platform for both international and local art, encouraging the community and visitors to engage, learn, and experience culture.
The project aims to preserve the unique character of the seaside resort while introducing a new cultural dimension of international quality, strengthening Palanga's role not only as a leisure destination but also as a cultural center by the Baltic Sea.
