Contextual Information

Creativity, ideas and environmental interests thrive in Denmark. In the 1970s, the conservative farming community was disrupted with the arrival of hippies, who brought new ideas and new lifestyles. In 1983, an International Clown Convention took over the streets with parades and clown shenanigans. Now a new generation of artists, performers and musicians contribute to a broad arts scene which enlivens the community of Denmark and attracts visitors from far and wide.
