On 7 December, from 2:00 to 5:00 PM, a seminar will take place at the Narva Art Residency, marking the conclusion of the autumn 2026 season of the project “Artists Are Present”.
The aim of the “Artists Are Present” project is to make contemporary art more accessible to young people in Narva and to create opportunities for using the Estonian language. During the project’s fourth season, in October and November, nine Estonian-speaking artists visited three schools: Narva Kreenholm School, Narva Language Lyceum, and Narva Orthodox Gymnasium.
At the season’s closing seminar, the participating artists — Riina Õun, Paulina Belik, Kaili-Angela Konno, Oliver Issak, Katrin Tani, Caroliina Ladva, Marta Konovalov, Triinu Jürves, and Kristina Norman — will share their experiences.
The artists’ mentors, Anna Golubeva (University of Tartu Narva College), Hanna-Liis Kont (“Kunst loob lähedust” / Creative Connections), and Christina Lään (expert in Content and Language Integrated Learning, CLIL), will also speak, alongside teachers and students from the participating schools.
The seminar will also feature a presentation of the project’s impact study results, an engaging visit to Kreenholm, and an opportunity to see artworks created collaboratively by the students and artists.
Everyone interested is welcome to attend, including educators and representatives of the cultural sector.
The event will be held in Estonian. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided.
