Station Narva and OBJEKT Business Day “Producers’ Market”
This year’s Station Narva Business Day, scheduled to take place in the OBJEKT multimedia hub on 20th September, is focusing on the increasingly challenging and role of producers and managers in creative business. Connecting the creative sectors of arts and media with technology and community building, the Business Day sets out to enhance local and regional competences as well as to create a collaborative and entrepreneurial platform for European, Russian and American companies.
Captivating keynote speakers who have assembled the seemingly incompatible within their field, will share their experiences, and inspire our local community to take note and make a change. Together we will set out to explore if artistic and technical projects can unite people from the various backgrounds and different perspectives. We will question if Narva, with its diverse community, peculiar history, and unique location, can really take on a role of a mediator between different cultures and territories.
Station Narva & OBJEKT Entrance Day is guaranteed by the Station Narva Festival Pass at the cost of 39 euros and a separate ticket at the cost of 20 euros. https://www.piletilevi.
Free admission for students, students and seniors, pre-registration required at https://tallinnmusicweek.
