Our Association

IMMART is a legal entity, classified as a non-profit association Denmark (CVR.: 39313774). Based in Copenhagen, we have been around since 2016 although we operated under the name Immigrant Art between 2016 and 2018.

We’re an organisation that strongly believes in the power of social and professional networks. Read more here.

The people in our organisation actively support our vison and mission – together with those in and outside of the wider arts and culture community, they ensure IMMART’s continual evolution.
