Sõltumatu Tantsu Lava (STL) and Davvi - Center for the Performing Arts are looking for 4 Estonian artists and 4 Norwegian artists for a collaboration project, which aims to find choreographic interventions to the topics of public space. In the context of Tartu and Bodø being both the European Capitals of Culture for the year 2024 the project invites artists to research public space and its community habits using the techniques of choreography and performing arts. Moving Cities brings together professionals in choreography and urbanism to ask questions and look critically at the public space infrastructure in Tartu and Bodø

How can we truly bring foreign funding back home? This question kicked off the Kultuurikompass morning coffee, which provided valuable information about the possibilities of foreign funding to Tartu and Southern Estonia cultural organisers. The January 17 event at Cafe Truffe brought together 80 cultural scene participants and representatives from three major funders - Nordic Council of Ministers, Creative Europe, and the US Embassy - to increase international cooperation and diversify South Estonian culture.

As a result of this open call, one large-scale installation with funding up to €25,000 and up to three smaller installations with funding up to €2,000 each will be chosen; artist fee is included.

There is nothing better than warm knitwear to ward off the cold. Since the peak of the knitting season is here, the European Capital of Culture Tartu 2024 created five new patterns for all crafting enthusiasts to knit on dark evenings. Fresh colour patterns are appropriate for both experienced knitters and those making their first steps into the world of knitting. You can knit all of the patterns together or just your favourites and incorporate them into your work.
