2. A NEW GRADE-A EXHIBITION AND CONFERENCE BUILDING
The building is located in a strategically advantageous location that
is proximate to the Rīga International Airport and the Rīga-Jūrmala
highway. The centre of Rīga and the spa town of Jūrmala can both be
reached within 10 minutes from the building.
The three-floor exhibition and conference building has 2,100 m2 of floor
space. It is open to the environment and designed on the basis of
Japanese architectural styles – cement, glass and metal with five major
exhibition halls (1,100 m2), large roof terraces (400 m2, with the
potential for helicopter landing facilities), and a heated car parking
area (600 m2).
The building is divided up into two equal parts with a central
stairwell.
The halls on each floor can be accessed separately.

3. THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING
The building was designed by the distinguished Latvian architect Andrejs
Ģelzis and his office, and it was built by the LX Group. The technical
blueprints were drawn up in Germany.
All of the facilities have state-of-the-art communications systems,
major ventilation and air-conditioning systems, temperature regulation,
a thorough fire prevention system, and optic Internet links for an
unlimited number of users and Webcams.
This ensures the multifunctional use of the facilities for international
cultural and information projects.

6. “The greatest joy occurs when the seemingly impossible happens. This
miracle appeared at a time when state financing for culture, including
art, is being reduced. While there is the fuss about the Museum of
Contemporary Art, the “Lucky Art Museum” has been installed not at an
abandoned factory or warehouse, as has commonly been the case in recent
years, but at the state-of-the-art and international-level exhibition
hall that has been built by SIA Pinakotēka.”
Inese Matisāne, LV.LV, 19 November 2009
“Animations distinctly bring the exhibition to life. Kaspars’ Zariņš’
“Pedant,” which was once only on canvas and paper, has been animated
by Roze Stiebra. Ilmārs Blumbergs has offered fascinatingly refined
drawings about how God created humankind, with animation by Māra Liniņa.
There are also animations by Ieva and Kristīne Jurjāne. A meditative
oasis is the ‘photography corner,’ with work by Anda Bankovska, Gints
Bērziņš and Leonīds Tugaļevs.”
Elīna Hermansone, Latvijas Avīze, 21 November 2009

7. “For one more week, until November 28, a special offer is available on
the Rīga cultural landscape – large and expansive facilities of the
type that Latvian artists have been yearning for such a long time, now
featuring the annual ‘Autumn 2009’ art exhibition of the Latvian Artists
Union. The exhibition features work by artists and art students who work
in different media. The exhibition has a polysemantic, provocative and,
for our era, pleasantly optimistic title – ‘The Lucky Art Museum’.”
Rīga City Council Cultural Department, 24 November 2009
“The location of the ‘Lucky Art Museum’ is of key importance. At a time
when state financing has been reduced for culture and art, the Latvian
Artists Association has staged a contemporary exhibition at the new
exhibition building that was constructed by SIA Pinakotēka, thus pointing
to the need for the visual arts and their importance in the context of
the development of the state and its society.”
