Warehouse9 is a multidisciplinary arts organisation that supports the development and presentation of work and ideas by LGBTQIA+ artists and cultural practitioners. By supporting radical and innovative arts practices and ideas, Warehouse9 nurtures new thinking, unique experiences and community building. We’re an organisation that strives towards sustainable processes and accessibility in the arts, and creates space for queer art year round.
Warehouse9 began in 2007, in an 80 m2 derelict room in a historic stable building in the former Meatpacking district of Copenhagen. Since then, Warehouse9 has become the longest-running queer arts organisation in the country – a unique organisation that has made an unparalleled mark on the inclusion and writing of queer histories in the arts in Denmark. From our international performance festival IPAF to our annual queer x-mas cabaret, to supporting community initiatives such as Queer Cut, Warehouse9 has always championed artists, programmes and initiatives that challenge and re-imagine what matters artistically, socially and culturally.
Autumn 2023 marked a new chapter for Warehouse9 with a move i to Vanløse (Copenhagen). In February 2024 the doors opened to Warehouse9’s new workspace. Followed by a year filled with pop-up performances, artistic practice focused on research and development activity and community gatherings.
