Konrad Mägi 140

A conference and gala concert dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the birth of the painter Konrad Mägi (1878–1925), a great figure of Estonian art, were held on 1 November at the University of Tartu Assembly Hall. The organiser was the Konrad Mägi Foundation in cooperation with the City of Tartu.

After the conference presentations, conference participants jointly visited Konrad Mägi’s grave at Vana-Peetri Cemetery. Wreaths from the Tartu Municipal Government and the Konrad Mägi Foundation were placed at the grave and candles were lit.

 

Konrad Mägi’s onetime studio on Town Hall Square, where the Konrad Mägi Studio Society operates, was also visited.
