About CHART
CHART is the leading Nordic art event and a new editorial platform. We bring together dedicated individuals and inspiring professionals to impact the future of the arts community in the Nordics and beyond.
At the end of August we present an art fair with the leading galleries in the region, an art book fair and a vast public programme of talks, performances, films, music. Throughout the year we present ongoing editorial releases. Building on Copenhagen’s strongholds of art, design, and architecture, we explore artistic crossovers and bring the arts community together in all its many diverse forms.
CHART is a non-profit foundation.
