Utenos kultūros centras
The Utena Cultural Center is the largest cultural institution in the region, committed to preserving traditions while fostering innovation. It supports a wide range of artistic disciplines, including music, visual arts, literature, theatre, chamber performances, and large-scale events.
With daily events, the Cultural Center operates across multiple venues, such as the Great and Small Halls, the Jonas Mekas Cinema Hall, and the Maestro Adolfas Driukas Music Gallery, alongside various cultural spaces throughout the city. Additionally, its branch venues in eight cities regularly host performances and activities for local communities.
Encouraging active participation, the center provides opportunities for individuals to join folk dance groups, choral ensembles, drama and puppet theatre, and other artistic collectives. Looking ahead, it aims to expand its cultural offerings with the introduction of an arts incubator and a new community hub at the restored Užpaliai Manor.
