Art Hub aims to boost existing dialogues on contemporary art nationally and internationally, something we do by bringing artists, curators, writers, researchers, companies, cultural institutions and the general public together in a new community.

Art Hub Copenhagen was founded by the Bikuben Foundation in 2018, with a three-year grant of 26 million DKK. Art Hub is an independent institution with its own board.

In 2016 the Bikuben Foundation launched a major survey of the Danish art scene in dialogue with artists and other art professionals, as well as a number of Danish and international organizations and foundations. In May 2017 the results of the research were published in the report Kunstens Rammer (Frameworks of Art), which identified a series of potential initiatives in production, networking, knowledge sharing, communication and organization. The report concluded by recommending a physical venue and meeting place to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations and strengthen international networks and contacts. Art Hub Copenhagen can be seen as the direct implementation of this recommendation.
