Artists from the United States, Austria, Estonia, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Poland, Spain and Latvia gather at the Rothko Museum in Daugavpils for \u201cMark Rothko 2026\u201d, an international painting symposium dedicated to the world-renowned artist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, interest in the two-week symposium has reached an all-time high, with 290 applications submitted from nearly fifty countries. The museum\u2019s expert committee selected ten artists whose work best reflects the symposium\u2019s focus on dialogue between contemporary painting and Rothko\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

Audiences are invited to meet the artists on 22 September at 3.15 p.m. in the Rothko Museum\u2019s Video Hall and discover their creative portfolios.<\/p>\n

The symposium concludes on 2 October at 4 p.m. with the opening of the participants\u2019 group exhibition.<\/p>\n

Admission to both events is free.<\/p>\n

The symposium participants are Nicole Mueller (USA), Gustavs Filipsons (Latvia), Andr\u00e9 Hemer (New Zealand\/Austria), Weronika Hempel (Poland), Mice Jankulovski (North Macedonia), Rosa Juanco (Spain), Vilen K\u00fcnnapu (Estonia), Henry Mandell (USA), Peter Maslow (USA) and Emma Velde-Schaffer (New Zealand).<\/p>\n

\n

Held annually in Rothko\u2019s birth month, the Rothko Museum\u2019s international painting symposium honours the world-renowned artist in his native city.<\/em> The residency draws hundreds of applicants inspired by Rothko\u2019s art and philosophy. The participants have two weeks in the museum\u2019s studios to develop work for the symposium exhibition. Selected artworks enter the Rothko Museum Collection, further strengthening its holdings of contemporary painting.<\/em><\/p>\n
