Creative employees

Like moths to a flame, a cultural center naturally attracts artistic souls. Many of our employees are artists and musicians themselves, play in bands or the like.

Decision makers

Katuaq is an independent business foundation (self-governing institution) which receives operating support from Greenland's Home Government and Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq. The building is owned by Katuaq I/S, which consists of the home government and Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq. Katuaq is a tenant and therefore pays rent to Katuaq I/S.

Katuaqs CEO

Each director over time has left his mark on Katuaq, and on the culture in Greenland, in their own way. Our current director Ivaaq Kriegel took over in October 2023.


"In the renewal process we are now about to embark on, I imagine that we will also have to enter into new cooperation agreements with Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq and Naalakkersuisut - our founders and main grant providers - and of course with the other municipalities - so that Katuaq's activities can better reach other cities and settlements throughout Greenland.

 

So in this way we are strengthening art and cultural life throughout Greenland. We must also think more about contemporary communication platforms, and think 'food and culture' into Cafetuaq with 'pop-up restaurant' events."

-Ivaq Kriegel
