NERDS unites some of the key experimental and innovative music organizers in Nordic and Baltic countries to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and project development while amplifying the Nordic-Baltic new music realm. This vibrant field embodies core democratic values—free expression and critical inquiry—now under global threat. Through our work, we aim to engage and challenge audiences, promote cultural exchange, stimulate "cultural tourism," and a Nordic-Baltic creative space.

The Baltic Contemporary Opera Network is a joint initiative led by partners from Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia. Its overarching goal is to facilitate cultural exchange, the sharing of best practices, and the development of collaborative ventures within the realm of contemporary opera. This genre is an outstanding cultural phenomenon that represents the Baltics on the international stage. The network's focus lies in fostering cooperation among independent creators and producers within the region.

In the face of the war and unstable political situation, Baltic Dance Network (Network) aims to create a safe space for Baltic contemporary dance artists to connect and analyse their shared past, explore Baltic dance identity, as well as understand each Baltic country's context and uniqueness. We aim to recognize and express historical legacies, enhancing confidence in the international dance field, and empowering artists to reflect current political or other challenges through their art.

Museum Why is a creative learning network rooted in Nordic and Baltic traditions, exploring the possibilities of the future art institution through collective artistic experiments and knowledge exchange that foster new collaborations and networks. United by a shared commitment to rethinking institutional change through the lenses of ecology, social sustainability, and radical locality, our network continues to find innovative ways of reshaping the art institution of tomorrow.
