Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2022/Programme/Submissions/October could be the Wikipedia Art Month

October 2021 was an Art Month in Estonian Wikipedia, that aimed to draw focus on art, Wikipedia, and how the latter can introduce the former. It included an art-themed article competition, web lectures, and virtual exhibitions. Outreach was done to contemporary Estonian artists and to art schools of Estonia. Article competition was carried out in cooperation with Tartu Art House and Tartu Art Museum. As part of Art Month, we also introduced the Wikigallery of Newer Estonian Art, which showcases some of the 21st-century works that are available under free licenses on Wikipedia.
