The aims of the festival are to encourage creating laboratories, to bring together artists, scientists and professionals from different sectors into creative clusters, and to promote creative industries, as well as multimedia culture and creative work. CENTRAS festival strives to become one of the most significant multimedia art festivals in the Baltic region, attracting to Lithuania globally famous multimedia art creators and stimulating creative activities and intellectual multimedia consumption in Lithuanian society. The organisers of the festival make great efforts to establish relationship and to ensure successful cooperation with the greatest European digital art festivals, universities, as well as to present various experiences of media artists from different countries.
