Donate Artwork

Invitation to Latvian organizations and individual artists, collectors, and their families:
We invite you to consider donating works of art created by professional Latvian artists who lived and worked outside of Latvia during the second half of the twentieth century, so that such works may be preserved for future generations. Before any more artworks are lost to garage sales, dumpsters, moldy basements and moth-infested attics, please consider the future disposition of such works that may be in your possession. Although a physical facility for storage and display of artwork is not yet available, the work of building the collection has begun, and a number of artists and collectors have already donated artworks to the Global Society for Latvian Art (see The Collection). Art works donated do not necessarily have to be immediately transferred to the organization, unless their well being can only be secured in such a manner.

Before any art works can become a part of the Global Society’s permanent collection, they must be accepted by the Collection Committee of the Society. The Collection Committee will determine whether any work may become a part of the permanent collection, and how many works by a particular artists may be accepted, according to guidelines currently being developed. Once work has been accepted, each donor should also complete the donation form on this page. Please click here for donation form pdf

Please contact lkalmite@latvianart.org if you have questions about donating art works to the collection.
