The literature cycle will include literary commemorations; meetings with writers of the Panevėžys region, who are well-known in Lithuania and in the world. The art cycle will include professional personal painting exhibitions and photography exhibitions. The music cycle will invite famous performers of classical and popular music of Panevėžys region.
