The wall will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is free for anyone who wants to use it. The wall is located at Klitmollervej 20 and is managed by IFUK (Institute For Urban Art). IFUK is an artistic production company that promotes and defends urban art in public space, not only in Denmark, but also in the rest of the world. You will find projects in 40 different countries. The origins of this company date back to the 90s between the Danish street art and graffiti community. Since then, they have expanded internationally with the intention of creating better and more dynamic urban spaces and beautifying the city through art. They focus on urban art because they believe that it is a way to create a feeling and atmosphere in buildings and public spaces, for the revitalization of some strictly functional spaces, in order to be able to give an artistic aspect and at the same time create a new attraction. It is a company that works closely with the Danish and international urban art community, in addition to various companies and brands, as well as with administration and politics. In addition to promoting urban art, they promote and publish local artists and give them a future in their projects. We are waiting for you and encourage you to leave no void!
