KORDON Artist Residency, nestled on the serene Hiiumaa island in Estonia, offers a unique retreat for artists across disciplines. Since its inception in August 2018, KORDON has encouraged artists to immerse in local culture and engage with the community through exhibitions, workshops, or open studios. Operated by the non-profit KORDONair MTÜ, founded by Vaikla Studio, the residency fosters site-specific projects and research. The residency, set in a historically rich building renovated for contemporary creative work, provides both self-funded and project-specific funded programs. Artists are selected through invitations or open calls, focusing on local-global issues. KORDON offers a tranquil environment for critical thinkers and artists, promoting privacy and slowness, with facilities that include private studios, communal spaces, and opportunities for public engagement.
