After a first collaboration with the Republic of U\u017eupis in 2021, the European Pepinieres of Creation continue their partnership in 2022 on several events, including this new edition of the U\u017eupio Vasaros Kult\u016bros Diena (U\u017eupis’ Summer Day of Culture) with more than 20 artistic activities welcomed by as many partners spread over all the territory.<\/p>\n

The U\u017eupis Republic was declared in 1998 in the old town of Vilnius, in a run-down and undesirable district of the capital of Lithuania by a community of artists. With a population of circa 7,000, the micronation is an independent, self-declared republic \u2013 and partly recognised by other countries. U\u017eupis has its own president, prime minister and ministers, a flag (actually – 4 flags, for each season), its own local currency and a tongue-in-cheek constitution, found on a public wall, translated into more than 40 languages. The Republic is a rare island of community, self-governance, art with a sense of lightness and fun, that has been governed successfully for over 20 years.<\/p>\n

U\u017eupis is a Cultural Space.
It gets visitors from Vilnius as well as domestic and international tourists.
If you take a look at the Vilnius city advertisements U\u017eupis is one of the first places recommended by the Vilnius Municipality and one of the main tourist sights for tourists coming to Vilnius, constantly contributing to this image.
Lot of city guides take the tourists here and show only main locations such as the bridge, the art incubator, the Parliament caf\u00e9, Angel, Constitution prospect – and that’s it.<\/p>\n

U\u017eupis is way bigger than that.
To change the “shortlist approach” and show that Uzupis is full of differencied Culture the U\u017eupis Summer Day of Culture was created.
It is now a traditional celebration, happening every year on the first Saturday of August under the Summer flag of the Republic, which drives people around the whole district and shows galleries and different people who contribute to U\u017eupis all around the area.
Every hour there is a new location where events are happening, so visitors can walk over and see that U\u017eupis is not about just three or four places.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
