Welcome to the Danish Art Workshops
The Danish Art Workshops (SVFK) is an institution under the Danish Ministry of Culture, whose purpose it is to provide working facilities for particularly demanding art works.
At the SVFK it is possible for artists to do work in large formats, which their own studios or equipment cannot facilitate. Artists, designers, craftspeople, and restorers can work here on projects in art and design at the highest level.

We encourage you to search information about specific artistic techniques and materials in current and former projects within the fields of visual arts and crafts, design, and preservation. In this database we feature the artistic working process rather than the outcome in order to focus on the services we provide.
Nan Na Hvass har arbejdet i atelieret på plan 3 og i metalværkstedet for at skabe tekstilinstallationen “Et rum at vente i”. Udgangspunktet har været at omskrive det kliniske rum, man typisk møder i hospitalsvæsenet under fertilitetsbehandling, til et sted, der giver plads til omsorg, genkendelse og anerkendelse.
Sammen med Lene Adler Petersen har konservator, Cæcilie Vieth Vad, og billedkunstner, Kathrine Schrøder, arbejdet med projektet Glastrappen og den lille Danserinde til udstilling på SMK til foråret 2027. Ud fra oprindelige skitser og fotomateriale fra værkets tilblivelse genskaber de værket på ny i atelier plan 5 på Statens Værksteder for Kunst.
