CRITICAL PICNIC 




Critical Picnic is an informal meeting format with discussion and dinner - organized by AAAA to bring together artists and art-workers that live, work, and have an ongoing interest in the artistic and art related cultural scenes in Northern jutland.

The meeting’s aim is to frame a critical dialog for rethinking how these scenes operate and what could be improved by discussing and creating ideas and alternatives within the current policies of art in the region through collaborative dialogue.
