Gallery Night vol 18

(eestikeelse sündmuse leiad SIIT)

As nature awakens from its winter slumber, so does the Gallery Night event series. We invite you to spend a vibrant spring evening in the Aparaaditehas quarter – exhibitions will open, glasses will clink, visitors will wander through the factory’s endless corridors, enjoy music, and create something beautiful themselves.

The event is supported by the City of Tartu
