Big Painting Saturday
Big Painting Saturday is an inspirational, playful and educational art festival that takes place in Kadriorg each year, on the last Saturday in May. The museum welcomes all art and nature lovers no matter their age or experience.
The task of the art museum is to preserve, examine and show artworks as widely as possible. We organise this event annually to give everyone a chance to enjoy the process of making art and the fruits of artists’ labour.
Throughout the day, there will be themed tours and drawing classes in the Kadriorg Art Museum, as well as en plein air drawing and painting in the Baroque park surrounding the palace. The art museum welcomes to Big Painting Saturday both professional and amateur painters, and all children and adults who love art.
