The recently assembled collection of global Latvian diaspora art opens on August 6 at the Peter church in Riga.

Since September 2006, the Global Society for Latvian Art has collaborated with the Valmira regional museum (Valmieras novadpetniecibas muzejs) in organising a large traveling exhibition of Latvian diaporas artworks.  Since the 2008 opening, the show has been traveling to a number of regional museums throughout Latvia, including Gulbene, Valka, Limbazi, Madona and others.

Ciemitis’ work “Pasa Galva” features in the exhibition, which continues until September 2009.

Following a year long tour of Victoria and New South Wales as part of the Archibald 2008 exhibition, Peteris Ciemitis’ painting ‘GRABOWSKY’  arrived in Western Australia, to take up residence at the Ellington Jazz Club.

On hand to receive the painting into its new home was the work’s subject, Paul Grabowsky (coincidently touring in Perth at the time), and Ellington owner, Graham Wood.

The painting is on loan to the Ellington, and can be seen hanging upstairs at the  Ellington Jazz Club, 191 Beaufort Street, Perth Western Australia http://www.ellingtonjazz.com.au.
