The Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union begins on 1 January and runs until 30 June 2026. The Council is the EU institution representing member state governments and every six months, the presidency of this institution rotates among them. The presiding country sets the EU agenda, focusing on priorities and pressing issues.

For over a decade, this Parliament has been proud to host art exhibitions organised by the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union, giving people the opportunity to explore art and cultural expression from across our Union.
