OKAPI ART RESIDENCY

In 2023, the OKAPI gallery opened its doors to an international residency program for the first time.
The residency is aimed at professional international artists with a focus on photography and glass art 
or mixed media. The residency application round is announced at the beginning of each following year. 
The duration of each residency is about one month, offering the opportunity
to work on your own project and gather inspiration
at the Okapi art residency in Saaremaa, to use a photo-video and glass studio near Tallinn.
We provide artists with primary tools and creative opportunities.

The program of each residency also includes thematic events and conversation evenings,
the highlight of which is the exhibition at the end of the residency at the OKAPI gallery.
Our team, glass artist Birgit Pählapuu and photo artist
and curator Temuri kHvingia supports the artists participating in the residency
with advice and strength, providing them with a creative environment
and the necessary strength to realize their art projects.
