Rupert’s public programmes are dedicated to creating platforms for conversation and learning. The formats of the public programmes include talks, seminars and workshops, exhibitions and showcases, screenings and online contributions. The public programmes include local and international contributors from a wide range of fields as well as Rupert’s residents to offer diverse perspectives on the subjects the programmes explore.

The public programmes are conceived as a continuous and open learning process and are regularly developed in collaboration with participants of the residency and alternative education programmes.

As part of the public programmes, each year Rupert organises multiple contemporary art exhibitions and events in Lithuania and abroad, bringing together Lithuanian and international practitioners to present their work to a wide range of audiences.  The public programmes aim to experiment with presentation formats and audience engagement and are educational in nature. 

Every year, the public programmes are supplemented by sound art events presenting cutting-edge Lithuanian and international sound artists. The events strengthen the relations between sound art, new media (digital, virtual, biotechnological art), performative and the visual arts while developing new audiences and communities.
