Where to find street art in Vilnius (Lithuania)
Street art in Vilnius is inseparable from Lithuanian independence, regained in 1990. Soviet-era neglect left entire neighbourhoods — Užupis above all — in disrepair, attracting artists drawn by cheap rents and derelict spaces. Before 2013 the scene was largely underground. The first Vilnius Street Art Festival in 2013 brought urban art into the mainstream, with successive editions through 2016 hosting Lithuanian and international artists and building the foundations of a recognised public art scene.
Užupis ("Beyond the River"), a bohemian enclave that proclaimed itself an independent republic on 1 April 1998, weaves stencils, murals and installations through its medieval lanes along the Vilnelė River; Paupio Street displays its constitution on metal plaques in 23 languages. In Naujamiestis, the former Elfa electrical factory (Švitrigailos g. 29) houses the Open Gallery, a permanent outdoor museum with over 50 works — including a mural by Brazilian duo Os Gemeos (Pylimo g. 60) and a site-specific piece by Italian artist Millo incorporating the building's windows (Pylimo g. 56), both created during the 2015 festival.
The current scene is anchored by the Gyva Grafika collective — whose January 2024 mural "Protect the Future" at Pylimo g. 9, commissioned by NATO, is cited as the alliance's first ever officially commissioned street artwork — and by Morfai, known for combining socialist-realist imagery with a graphic-novel aesthetic. The Open Gallery remains the central hub, open 24/7 with a free mobile audio guide. The "Walls That Remember" project memorialises the former Jewish Quarter through archive-based murals, while guided tours by Vilnius with Locals explore the Stotis district every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
