The Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition is one of the most important open-submission exhibitions in Europe that has been held annually in Copenhagen since 1857. It is held at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, one of the largest and most beautiful spaces for contemporary art in Europe. It originated as an exhibition showing new works by Danish artists and now features participants from many countries. The exhibition allows a considerable number of artists to participate in a major international project and has over the years provided the first significant platform for many emerging artists, while also presenting important new pieces by more established figures.
