about us

supporting queer artists since 2007

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.

our history

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.

In Autumn 2023, Warehouse9 will move into their new creative studio space in Vanløse (Copenhagen). The studio in Vanløse will act as Warehouse9’s centre of gravity where they look forward to welcoming artists, cultural practitioners and the community before the end of 2023.
