Waterfront

The Waterfront Project entered its final phase in 2021. This phase is focusing on ensuring an even deeper involvement of local communities around waterfront development and ensuring increased environmental awareness in St. Petersburg.

The Waterfront Project develops a network of Russian experts

In an open call, five local artworks were supported and installed in selected visible locations in the city to raise awareness of the need for modern, eco-friendly, comfortable public and cultural spaces. The established expert group in St. Petersburg has travelled to other regions of Russia. Here they have shared the experience they have gained in their collaboration with Nordic colleagues. This way, we succeeded in creating a sustainable model with a well-established and qualified group of local Russian experts. They can further develop and disseminate networks in Russia with a focus on creating urban development through art, based on local engagement and environmentally conscious initiatives.

The project involved partners from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, and Russia.
