With the re-establishment of Estonian independence in 1989 came a political and social upheaval that broke free from old soviet restrictions and flourished under freedom of expression. Estonia’s thriving arts scene has resulted in a blossoming of museums, galleries and arts hubs to showcase the resulting cultural outpouring. Mäetamm will give a talk at the AGH Annex on Nov. 22 about the Estonian arts scene and his career.
The Hamilton Artists Inc. Residency Program at The Cotton Factory provides a valuable opportunity for artists from a wide range of disciplines and career levels to build their practice. Launching in 2018, an annual juried artist exchange will commence between Hamilton, Ontario and Tallinn, Estonia.

The Cotton Factory
In the heart of lower Hamilton, this former cotton mill complex from 1900 is a prime example of adaptive reuse. The Cotton Factory has been transformed into a creative industries complex with space for workshops, studios for artists, small manufacturing and office space for creative professionals.
