Exchange program for professionals in the Danish-Georgian Music industry
This project aims to create a cultural and professional bridge between the Georgian and Danish music scenes, enhancing knowledge exchange and strengthening cross-cultural collaboration.
In May 2026, Georgian music professionals visited Denmark on a five days delegate programme during the SPOT festival in Aarhus. As a next step, in October 2026, the project invites Danish artists and music industry professionals to Georgia for a five-day program developed in close collaboration with leading partners from both countries.
What the program includes:
-
Networking meetings with Georgian artists, music professionals, managers, and collectives

Visits to partner organisations, venues, labels, and cultural spaces in Tbilisi ( Georgia)
-
Artist talks/workshops and discussion panels hosted by Danish and Georgian participants

We will be visiting Mutant Radio , Creative Eduation Studio, Bassiani, Stockon Records Fabrika and more
