He also participated in the Rupert educational programme. His work has been exhibited at the National Gallery of Art, the Contemporary Art Centre, Vartai Gallery, Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo, Tromsø Kunstforening, and other art institutions in Lithuania and abroad.
Kovalevskij is a founding member of the Young Poor Artists collective, directed the Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association project spaces Malonioji 6 and Sodų 4 in Vilnius, and founded the nomadic art initiative InTheCloset, operating between Norway and Lithuania.
