Myymälä 2 Baltic Fellowship Network
The Baltic Fellowship Network (BFN), is a curatorial research programme initiated by Myymaälä2 whose aim is to potentiate collaboration, foster partnerships and facilitate artistic exchanges among art institutions, exhibition spaces, individuals and counterparts based in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. BFN is inspired by the interest in establishing strong multi-directional networks with persons and institutions from Finland to the Baltic countries, and vice versa, which in the long term will be the foundation of more connected and thriving artistic producers in the region.
