Narva Art Residency continues its series of Art Club meetings, which began in the autumn of 2024. On four Saturdays, artists and art enthusiasts are invited to take part in lectures and workshops on culture and art history. The meetings will be held in Russian and are intended for those who wish to advance on their creative journey and can attend all four sessions.
To participate in the Art Club, you must submit your application by October 31.
Selected participants will receive an Art Club card, which will be stamped at each meeting. Those who collect four stamps will be invited to a free group art trip to Tartu at the end of the series.
Participation will be confirmed after the application period has ended.
