European best destinations 2025 - Riga

Scent Art Festival

One of the first international scent art festivals in Europe brings together 40 artists from eight countries - Latvia, Argentina, Norway, China, New Zealand, Finland, Portugal, and Greece - to explore the integration of scent into other art forms, such as visual arts, music, literature, dance, and performance. The festival offers a wide-ranging program that includes an exhibition, live performances, aromography workshops and lectures, as well as a scent tour of Riga.

The festival exhibition features 18 works – paintings, graphics, installations, and sound installations that incorporate the sense of smell. 

Special guests of the festival – Argentine artists Maria Zegna, Bruno Mesz and Sebastian Tedesco – plan to bring a unique scent organ to Riga. This instrument will be used in five performances, including a gastronomic performance, a contemporary music piece with a flutist, a combination of video and scent, and in an improvisational music hour.
