The second edition of InMUSE—the international forum on innovation in music, stage arts, and entertainment—will take place on April 9–12, 2025, in Vilnius. Following its debut in 2023 as part of the Vilnius 700 celebration program, this year’s forum focuses on the expanding role of artificial intelligence in artistic creation, addressing questions of authorship, agency, copyright, ethics, and the future of creative ecosystems.

The forum brings together international artists, researchers, cultural producers, and entrepreneurship experts for a four-day program of discussions, lectures, performances, and practical workshops exploring the creative and critical potential of AI technologies.

The program also includes a seven-day workshop, LIVE SPACE, involving students and teachers from Nordic and Baltic higher education institutions.

InMUSE and LIVE SPACE are organized by the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, with the support of the Lithuanian Council for Culture and Nordplus. Project partners include MOSAIC, an international creativity and innovation research hub based at HEC Montréal (Canada); Gallery Arka; the Lithuanian National Culture Centre; Arttech Agency Lithuania; Opera Social House; Dirty Deal Audio (Latvia); the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania; and the National Museum Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. The event is also part of the MI-RAP project, co-funded by the EU Interreg Baltic Sea Region programme.
