We have been around since 2016. From networking, to debating, educating, exhibiting, and exchanging ideas and experiences, we love to interact and share knowledge on art, artist life and migration in different ways and maximize our impact. Check out what we got up to in 2022 on top of holding our monthly IMMART Dinners.

For the second consecutive year, IMMART engaged with students at the University of Alicante’s Innovation, Immigration and Social Entrepreneurship Summer School, who took IMMART as a case study for their course work. The course is run by Professor Eric Bas of The Foresight Laboratory @ University of Alicante.
IMMART welcomed the Iceland-based theater company Reykjavík Ensemble to Copenhagen where we arranged meetings with with theater spaces and people, as well as with local artists and residents who have moved to Denmark from abroad as part of their research for their 2023 production Djöfulsins snillingur (Fucking Genius) which centres on the life of an immigrant artist.
IMMART co-organised a panel on inclusive leadership within the Nordic arts and culture field at the G.A.P. Art Summit 2022 in Helsinki, Towards Inclusive Leadership in the Nordic Art Field.
IMMART has evolved norm-creatively since we started in 2016 (for the first two years under the name Immigrant Art), completing fantastic projects with fantastic partners pre-pandemic. 2020 and much of 2021 were spent evaluating the previous years’ activities and making a strategy for the future.
IMMART co-creates opportunities for networking, for knowledge exchange, and for paid work in the arts and culture scene at home and abroad – no matter where you are from or what your cultural heritage is!
