“Art is as much about the people behind it as it is about the work itself.”
— Christian Rasmussen, Executive Producer of KIND OF ART

Bringing together art and technology, KIND OF ART 2024 aims to create a supportive, inclusive space for professionals to connect, share insights, and advance their careers. The event focuses not only on the art but also on the human aspect, inclusion, and diversity among other things.

Moreover, the KIND OF ART 2024 Competition offers an exciting opportunity for artists to showcase their work. This year’s challenge is themed “The Art of Creation,” and participants are invited to create an original A3 poster that visually represents their interpretation of creation within the art and entertainment industries. With a strict focus on originality, competitors are encouraged to move beyond fan art and dive deep into their unique artistic visions.

The Palads Theater, an iconic venue in Copenhagen with 17 state-of-the-art auditoriums and a rich cultural heritage since 1912, offers the perfect backdrop for two days of inspiration, networking, and hands-on learning opportunities.

Whether you're looking to refine your skills, showcase your talent, or simply be inspired by the best in the business, this is the event to attend.
