CREATIVE is ARKEN’s workshop, which with its open and light architecture provides the optimum opportunity for working with drawing, painting, sculptures and learning about materials and media. The two wings are used regularly for teaching purposes; one wing is designed like a workshop with space for practical work, while the other wing is designed to work with digital media. The middle room is an open workshop, where children and adults can get together to draw or read. Children are welcome to hang their drawings up on the large magnetic walls.

The materials in CREATIVE are sponsored by AV FORM.

Every Sunday ARKEN offers an open family workshop from 12-15 in the workshop CREATIVE. The activities in the workshop are inspired by the current exhibitions.

The workshop is free of charge.

The Family workshop is sponsored by A/S Rødovre Centrum.
