The NGO “Cita Abra” has taken over the management at Cīrava mill – now it is a place of informal education, artist residency and culture centre “Kultūras dzirnavas” (ENG: Culture Mill). The NGO strives to save and restore Cīrava watermill by integration of the nearby natural and man-made resources to make it a social gathering and event site for locals and a creative venue for various arts, dance, theatre, multimedia, and music projects.
