KunstSmedjen on Musicon - art and culture in Roskilde

Discover a creative hub in the heart of Roskilde's vibrant MUSICON district. KunstSmedjen hosts six small galleries with resident artists, artist studios, a café, stage, open workshops, and an art school - all run by volunteers.

The gallery presents regularly changing exhibitions featuring both Danish and international art. Every three weeks, the artworks are refreshed. You can also meet the artists in their studios and explore their work, often available for purchase.

The open artist workshops are for those who are part of a volunteer group and seek a creative space to work in. Read more about the workshops here

Events

KunstSmedjen’s stage is a lively venue where you can experience music, theatre, talks, debates and more. The venue collaborates with local organisations like Steps Ahead and Roskilde Teater, creating a warm atmosphere in the old forge when skilled performing artists take to the stage. You can enjoy live music and performances 1-2 times a month. See the current programme here
