Exhibition MASTER AND APPRENTICE at ddesignforumWIENby the Vilnius Academy of Arts.
From 20.02. to 28.03.2026.

Opening on Tuesday, 19 February 2026, 18.30 CET.

The exhibition Master and Apprentice explores the Lithuanian design scene from an intergenerational perspective. Through fashion, product, graphic, and interior design, it highlights design positions and personalities that have shaped the development of multiple generations over decades.

Design is presented as a multilayered process defined by exchange, mentoring, and the transmission of experience. Rather than focusing on finished outcomes, Master and Apprentice traces the hidden stories of design: networks of collaboration, and learning that shape creative practice and form the identities of designers.
