Europos Parkas is a sculpture park founded in 1987 by the artist Gintaras Karosas located on 55 hectares. The permanent collection consists of over 100 works of artists from 27 countries, including art celebrities such as Magdalena Abakanowicz, Javier Cruz, Dennis Oppenheim and Sol LeVitt.

From the artist: For years, I have been unsuccessfully trying to meet the challenge, which for the "old" political order, posed to me from behind our eastern border: Lithuanians, Georgians, Latvians, and even Kazakhs, whom I met at international artistic plein-airs in Poland. They signaled a desire to show my works on their territory in their cultural areas. I was very pleased receiving the invitation from Gintaras Karosas - an outstanding artist, creator, animator and organizer of the Europos Parkas - very significant for contemporary sculpture not only for our part of Europe. The familiarization visit in January confirmed my belief that this is a great place for presenting balancing sculptures. Showing my sculptures in the context of the artworks of many celebrities of modern art gathered by Gintaras is a pleasure and raises the rank of the event.
