More activities at Carlsberg

Signs at the closed Carlsberg Breweries in Valby, Copenhagen, show the way to the different activities that has taken over old industrial buildings and outdoor areas. Art galleries, go-kart racing, skateboard areas, dance theatre, cafés, architects, designers and many others have all found room here.

One of the paintings at the Galore Urban Art Festival at Toftegårds Plads in Valby was this huge one by Aryz of Spain. Here he is still working on the finishing touches of his artwork.

A boring square?

 

One of the largest squares in Copenhagen, Toftegårds Plads in Valby, looks more like a parking space without the cars than a place to meet or a place where things are happening. A few years ago it was used as a hub for the bus lines, but after that was changed nothing much has happened there. Or rather, there has been the big new redecorating that the square screams for, because a few things are happening there. At winter there's an ice skating rink there and in summer there's a flea market each weekend. And then there's a thing like the Galore Urban Art Festival last weekend. More than 200 Danish and international artists, music, graffiti and other art was the core of the festival.
