Active Artist
Active Artist — €299 per Year
An annual exhibition programme: one group exhibition in Tallinn and one virtual exhibition on Artsy over 12 months.

The programme is for artists who want to take their work beyond social media and their own website, appear in AGOP catalogues, participate in the Association’s exhibitions and build an exhibition record for their artist CV.
