The Narva Art Residency (NART) and the Estonian Contemporary Art Development Centre (EKKAK) invite you to take part in an art bus program between the two cities. The aim of the art tours is to visit the exhibitions, meet the artists and explore the fascinating cultural institutions with the support of a guide.
