We invite you to ‘Copenhagen Connects’ illustrators meet-up.

Copenhagen Connects has a vision to create a community that fosters ideas and encourages discourse and collaborations with illustrators and image makers in the Nordic region as well as connecting with fellow international illustrators, institutions, and commissioners.
