​

LOORE (The Estonian Creative Residencies Network) was created in response to the expressed need for better representation and collaboration between artist residency organisations across Estonia. With the goal of supporting the mobility of creative people and representing the interests of residency hosts; increasing capacity and influence, and value. It also promotes the sharing of artistic resources and collaboration opportunities across its members. 

Thanks to funding from the Estonian Ministry of Culture,  we are able to support Ukrainian  artists, writers, curators, critics and musicians and other cultural practitioners. During 2026 members of the LOORE network will host artists through a funded residency program, giving artists the opportunity to make use of the different available opportunities of the organisations and the unique networking possibilities, such as visits, workshops, talks and programs in other locations. 

Artists will receive 1550€ stipend total and 250€ travel allowance.. All residencies provide free accommodation and studio access for artists. It is possible to attend all residencies in pairs or with family, however, the grant does not cover the costs of additional participants. For details on residency-specific facilities, please refer to the description of each residency HERE.​​
