The Latvian Folk Art Museum is presently closed. All items are in storage. The museum was housed in the building owned by the Chicago Latvian Association that sold the building mid-April 2020.
It has not yet been determined what route the museum will take when reopening. It is probable that the museum will be different and non-traditional.

Valdis and Ruta are highly accomplished musicians and scholars. They have been performing the culturally unique program “My Brothers in White” to Latvian and foreign audiences for several years now, but the concert tour organized by TILTS in November will be their first in North America. In their own words, the concert program is “a dedication to ancient and contemporary Baltic peoples - Latgalians, Selians, Zemgalians, Lithuanians, Yatvingians, Courlanders and Prussians. Vocal and instrumental music from the Baltic lands of Latvia, Lithuania and Eastern Prussia are at the core of our compositions. The presentation will feature ritual, customary and mythological songs, as well as instrumental meditations and collaborations. The music combines ancient traditional melodies with our own original works, creating an unforgettable musical experience celebrating the enchanting and vibrant music of ancient Baltic tribes.”

After World War I, the territory of Latvia was controlled by the German military, but despite this, Latvians managed, on November 18, 1918, to establish their own independent country. Sadly, the Red Army from Soviet Russia invaded just two days later, and that launched the Latvian War of Independence, which lasted for nearly two years. During this difficult time, on July 10, 1919, the Latvian Army was formed. So today we celebrate the Hundred Years of Latvian Army.

The Baltic American Freedom League, Inc. (BAFL) was founded in Los Angeles in 1981 by a group of Baltic American political activists as a national organization to support the Baltic peoples’ struggle to regain their freedom and independence from Soviet occupation. BAFL initiated a broad based program to inform the American government and people of human and civil rights violations; religious persecutions; cultural genocide; and ethnic discrimination carried on by the Soviet government in the three Soviet occupied Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Today, the Baltic American Freedom League’s programs are designed to assist the continued development of democracy and market economies in the Baltic countries, to assure the continued security of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania from outside aggression, to increase awareness of Baltic history and culture and to promote strong, friendly and effective bilateral relations and policies between the United States and the Baltic countries.
