Transformation aims to strengthen the cultural life of Billund Municipality by expanding the range of professional artistic experiences and increasing access to contemporary art outside the larger cities. The festival will create a new gathering place for art and culture, centred around Billund Centret – Vores Kulturhus.

The ambition is to develop a sustainable, locally rooted art festival, that supports the municipality’s efforts to create vibrant meeting places and an active cultural life. Billund Municipality has initiated the establishment of the festival, but the goal is for it to develop into an independent organisation within its first few years, with its own board and local engagement from citizens and institutions.

The festival uses art as a tool and as a means of activating and reimagining shared meeting places. Through installations, light and sound works, performances and video art, audiences are invited to experience familiar surroundings in new ways and encounter professional contemporary art in accessible settings. In doing so, the festival offers new perspectives on the spaces and functions of the place, while inviting reflection, dialogue and a sense of community around art.

Based at Billund Centret – Vores Kulturhus,
professional Danish and international artists are invited to create site-specific artworks and
artistic transformations of existing indoor and outdoor spaces.
