Kai (meaning “dock” in Estonian) opened its doors in 2019 with the aim of promoting contemporary art and culture in Estonia and the wider Baltic region, and hosts a variety of exhibitions, performances, screenings, and other cultural events throughout the year, featuring works by both local and international artists. The building also houses a cinema, two restaurants, a bakery and a cocktail bar, a coworking space and various venues for events.
The centre’s facilities include a large exhibition space, a black-box theatre, a cinema, and a cafe, as well as an outdoor terrace overlooking the port. The building's design combines the original industrial features of the submarine factory with modern elements, creating a unique and striking atmosphere.
In addition to its cultural program, Kai Art Centre also offers residencies for artists and curators, providing them with a space to live and work in Tallinn while developing their projects and connecting with the local art scene.
