We are delighted to share a special piece of news – this year, Rupert welcomes its first private-sector partner, INVL Family Office, the largest multi-family office in the Baltic States. The organisation provides financial investment supervision and management, as well as integrated legal, tax, and succession planning solutions. This marks an important milestone in the history of Rupert Centre for Art, Residencies and Education.

“Rupert’s programmes aim for long-term impact and play an important role within the cultural ecosystem, supporting emerging artists from Lithuania and around the world by offering exceptional opportunities for experimentation and creative growth. We are truly grateful for the trust our partners place in us as an organisation, as well as in the future of artists,” says Viktorija Šiaulytė, Director of Rupert.

We have already celebrated this partnership by presenting artists who have developed through Rupert’s programmes at joint events with INVL Family Office. At the Rupert Centre, we hosted the first INVL Family Office Women’s Club meeting of the year, where Rupert Alternative Education Programme alumnus and contemporary artist Robertas Narkus introduced his practice to the audience. Art historian, Director of the National Gallery of Art, and Rupert board member Dr Lolita Jablonskienė presented a new work by artist Eglė Budvytytė, created for this year’s Lithuanian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. In April, the partnership was also introduced to INVL Family Office clients during the company’s conference Investor Day. The event opened with a performance by Rupert alumna Marta Finkelštein – a composition for voice and piano by Dominykas Digimas, based on a text by Jonas Mekas about his history with music.

“At INVL Family Office, we focus on creating lasting value that can be passed on from generation to generation. Our partnership with Rupert is meaningful to us because we believe that art fosters personal and community growth, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and openness. Through this collaboration, we support the development of talent and the emergence of ideas that shape the future,” says Asta Jovaišienė, Head of INVL Family Office.

We are pleased to bring together the expertise and experience of INVL Family Office and Rupert, strengthening Lithuania’s cultural field and creating meaningful opportunities for artists.
