The following artists presented their work: Laima Kantakevi\u010dien\u0117, Jolanta Tamulien\u0117, Virginija Kasparavi\u010di\u016bt\u0117, Daiva Sveiackait\u0117, Danut\u0117 Bla\u017eien\u0117, Marija Misi\u016bnien\u0117, and Zita Nijol\u0117 Dru\u017einskait\u0117.<\/p>\n\n<br\/>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition was initiated by Member of the Seimas Dalia Asanavi\u010di\u016bt\u0117-Gru\u017eauskien\u0117. The Member of the Seimas greeted the authors of the tapestry works and presented them with letters of appreciation and commemorative souvenirs. Artist-textile designer and educator Gra\u017eina Kriaunevi\u010dien\u0117 shared insights and reflections on the development of tapestries in Lithuania and the decorative carpets on display. An excellent musical performance was given by a duo of Lithuanian Academy of Music students: Jonas-Benjaminas Balsys on piano and Vaida Mikalaj\u016bnait\u0117 on flute. It is very heartwarming when talented young people find the time and desire to appreciate the beauty of folk art works and to enrich the exhibition presentation event with such sincerity and professionalism.<\/p>\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;galleryId&quot;:&quot;6aa32d4678763&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/gallery\" class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default
