ABOUT THE BALTIC-NORDIC RESIDENCY FORUM:
Residency networks LOORE, FAIRE and SWAN aim to build up a long-term network and involve other Baltic and Nordic residency networks in it. LOORE includes 17 residency organizers across Estonia, FAIRE 70 residencies in Finland and SWAN encompasses 130 network members and 55 residency members in Sweden.
The project aims to achieve a dual goal: to assist Estonian, Finnish, and Swedish networks of creative residencies in developing sustainable organizational work models and to establish a collaboration platform for organizers of artist-in-residence programs in these countries, promoting the sharing of best practices, facilitating exchanges, and stimulating collaborations within the Nordic-Baltic region.
