Emerging Artists

Regional Platform for Rising Talents

This initiative was launched for the first time in December 2025 through an open call aimed at emerging photography artists from the Baltics and Finland. Seven artists and one artist collective were selected, and their work is on view in a group exhibition at Fotografiska Tallinn from 9 May to 1 November 2026. The platform’s next exhibition will take place in autumn 2027. The open call for applications is open until 27 October 2026.
