Cultural Partnership

Before we start a collaboration with a cultural partner, we have a number of requirements. 

We prioritise growth layer activities, young evironments and non-commercial cultural operators, who work within the buzzwords of Huset: growth layer, activism, non-commercial activities and populism. It's important that our activities match our vision, therefore we've developed a model called 'Kriteriehuset', where any new cultural partner can define there match with Huset or the opposite.

About Kriteriehuset

Kriteriehuset is a tool to select, develop and strenghen our collaborations with cultural environments, who is already a part of Huset.

Our vision is to co-create by facilitating, hosting and supporting art and innovative cultural operators, who challenge and inspire people at the same time.

Through art and culture we:

1. support new communities and forms of participation.
2. make Huset vivid and a curious place to be.
3. are ambtious, orginal and visionary.
4. are experimental and transforming.

All activities must be economically, socially and environmentally sustainable.

Other criteria

We also support following critirea:

• Events must be public and open for everybody regardless sex, ethnicity, sexuality or religion.
• Events can't be party-political.
• We strive to support diversity and therefore the entrance fee must be at a cost where everyone has the opportunity to participate.
• Huset is a co-creator of the project. Huset's guidelines for design and expression must be followed on printed material and online. We will review the guidelines with you at an introductory meeting.

If the event follows with extra costs for Huset, we will charge a matching payment. An extra cost can be related to special needs for audio equipment, cleaning, an event that doesn't match the opening hours of Huset, etc. When we agree on a collaboration, we make a concrete contract and discuss the economic circumstances.

Growing from idea to event

We are always ready to help your event, project or idea become a reality, no matter where the idea are in the process. We can help on several levels, depending on how large your resources and/or network are.

It very important for us, that you remain the owner of the idea or event, and we contribute to make your project a reality. Our focus is how you collect as much experience as possible and the result is hopefully independence and confidence in producing cultural projects.

We help with:

• Idea development
• Planning
• Fundraising
