Jonavos Kultūros Centras
The Jonava Cultural Centre is the largest in the Kaunas region, incorporating 14 branches, including the Jonava Region Museum, the theatre, and the tourism information centre. The organisation’s mission is to provide high-quality cultural services that align with the needs of contemporary society, engage various social groups in cultural activities, and promote artistic self-expression.
It aims to preserve cultural traditions while continuously evolving, fostering art across various genres and forms. Its activities are broad and diverse, encompassing the development of amateur collectives, the presentation of contemporary art, and the provision of opportunities for the public to engage with both local and international collectives, performers, and artists.
In 2023, the Jonava Cultural Centre received the award of the best cultural center operating in the country.
