Home is Where your Heart Is
Home is where your heart is er en festival skabt af ni kunstnerdrevne udstillingssteder, der tilsammen kalder sig Artist Run Aarhus, samt Aarhus Billedkunstcenter.
Fra august til september 2026 undersøges det på forskellig vis, hvad hjem kan betyde og blive til, når det behandles gennem sociale, stedsspecifikke og deltagelsesbaserede billedkunstformater. Hvert udstillingssted bidrager ud fra sin egen praksis og profil, og viser bredden i Aarhus’ kunstnerdrevne miljø: fra udstillinger og events til performances, workshops, talks, walks og fælles møder på tværs af byen.
I weekenden 28.–30. august åbner alle udstillingssteder dørene med arrangementer, der kan opleves enkeltvis eller som en samlet bevægelse gennem byens kunstnerdrevne landskab. Fredag den 28. august kl. 16–20 inviterer Artist Run Aarhus til ARTist RUN WALK, der begynder ved rum46 og bevæger sig videre til HVERK, HUS8000, Kunstrum ÆSKEN, CANTINA, Aarhus Billedkunstcenter og KH7artspace, før den vender tilbage til HVERK. Her afsluttes aftenen med et festligt komsammen kl. 20–24. Søndag den 30. august kl. 13–16 gentages ruten i en dagsversion, hvor man igen kan opleve udstillinger, arrangementer og møder på tværs af byen, mens vi går sammen.
Home is where your heart is handler dermed både om hjem som tema og om de hjerter, der skaber billedkunsten i Aarhus. Samtidig markerer det begyndelsen på Artist Run Aarhus som en fælles platform for byens selvorganiserede kunstmiljøer. Vi inviterer til at følge forbindelser mellem miljøer og møde de kunstneriske praksisser, der er med til at skabe byens kulturelle understrøm.
Home is where your heart is is a festival created by nine artist-run exhibition venues, which collectively call themselves Artist Run Aarhus, together with Aarhus Billedkunstcenter.
From August to September 2026, the festival will explore what ‘home’ can mean and become when examined through social, site-specific and participatory visual art formats. Each venue participates based on its own practice and profile, showcasing the breadth of Aarhus’ artist-run scene: from exhibitions and events to performances, workshops, talks, walks and communal gatherings across the city.
Over the weekend of 28–30 August, the festival culminates during the first weekend of Aarhus Festuge, when all venues open their doors with events that can be experienced individually or as a unified journey through the city’s artist-run landscape. On Friday 28 August, from 4 pm to 8 pm, Artist Run Aarhus invites you to ARTist RUN WALK, which begins at rum46 and continues on to HVERK, HUS8000, Kunstrum ÆSKEN, CANTINA, Aarhus Billedkunstcenter and KH7Artsapace before returning to HVERK. The evening will conclude there with a festive get-together from 8 pm to midnight. On Sunday 30 August from 1 pm to 4 pm, the route will be repeated in a daytime version, where you can once again experience exhibitions, events and encounters across the city as we walk together.
Home is where your heart is thus explores both ‘home’ as a theme and the hearts that create visual art in Aarhus. At the same time, it marks the launch of Artist Run Aarhus as a shared platform for the city’s self-organised art communities. We invite you to explore the connections between these communities and discover the artistic practices that help shape the city’s cultural undercurrent.
