Visiting Daugavpils?

It's frequently possible to visit local artists' studios, allowing you to see how painters, potters, and sculptors work and to buy directly from them without paying a middleman. Daugavpils has an increasingly vibrant art scene, and the city has made the creation of the Rothko Centre in the Arsenal -- a project that will feature exhibition halls and ateliers for local artists -- a development priority.
Latgalian ceramics are unique and emerge from a continuous, long tradition, while the city's multicultural character means that very diverse influences can be found in all of the arts. People interested in experiencing the local scene can contact me by VT mail -- I'll let you know if there are any special events and can help you arrange studio visits.
The link below is to the paintings and drawings of Ingūna Liepa and includes a price list; prices for art very wildly, of course, but I've seen people walk out of pottery studios with boxes of bowls and candelabra for 100 EUR. A really intricate work, like a Latgalian candelabrum the size of a Christmas tree, might run 1000 EUR (I didn't make that up... I saw such a thing and lusted after it, imagining it in a loft...)
