The American Embassy invites you to celebrate the rich and diverse culture of the United States during the month of May. Throughout Lithuania, the American Center has organized events with our cultural partners to offer a glimpse into the source of America's open and inventive character. We invite you to peer into the unique windows fabricated by American painters, photographers, filmmakers, authors, musicians, lecturers and craftsman and experience the vibrancy of American society.
