Once the contest results had been received, a total of twelve prize winners were determined, each of whom received cash bonuses and grants from Rietumu Bank to help them to continue their musical education.
The main goal of the competition is the preservation and restoration of cultural and historical monuments of religious communities of Latvia.
On 13 April Rietumu Charity Fund – the biggest such organisation in Latvia – marked its seventh birthday.
A personal exhibition of the modern Latvian artist Ilze Laizane has opened at the Rietumu Bank Gallery. The exhibition named “Energy of Femininity” presents the eight latest works of the artist, where she depicts her vision and understanding of a woman, her image and sensitive energy.
