In recent years, Estonia has seen a growing wave of revitalizing industrial heritage through culture. Both new and established cultural factories, creative hubs, and industrial area developments have sparked a wide range of inspiring initiatives. It’s time to bring together the people behind these efforts to share knowledge and reflect on future possibilities.

Cultural Factories Day 2025 in Tartu will bring together:

• Representatives from Estonia’s cultural factories and urban initiatives

• Inspiring project leaders from neighboring countries

• A representative from Trans Europe Halles, a European network of cultural centers

We welcome participation from:

• Leaders and tenants of cultural factories and creative centers

• Developers of industrial areas and urban space enthusiasts

• Those interested in architecture, cultural policy, or community engagement

The aim of this first gathering is to:

• Connect and get to know each other

• Map out common themes and challenges

• Discuss possibilities for future collaboration

More information and the detailed program will be announced soon. Participation is free.
