In the beginning of March, a Danish-U.S. cultural network, known as The Cultural Frontrunners, will gather for their biannual meeting – this year in Solvang, California. Among the participants will be The Danish Pioneer Newspaper’s Editor Linda Steffensen from Chicago.

The Cultural Frontrunners is a network of people across the country dedicated to promoting contemporary Danish culture, values and issues in the United States on a voluntary basis. The network was founded in 2005 by the Danish Embassy and the Danish Consulate General in New York and currently counts approximately 60 members. Every other year, members meet to exchange ideas and knowledge about Danish culture.

From March 1st – 3rd, The Cultural Frontrunners meet for three days of exciting programming with a wide variety of speakers, workshops and dialogues. Among the keynote speakers are Eric Nelson, Chief Executive Officer at the Nordic Heritage Museum, Bonnie Yochelson, curator of a grand-scale, new exhibition about Danish photographer and social pioneer Jacob Riis, and “foodie” Kalle Bergman, editor-in-chief and chief of the food magazine Honest Cooking as well as NORTH festival, who will talk about the New Nordic Food-trend.

Over the years, the Cultural Frontrunner network has facilitated a great number of Danish events across the country – e.g. Danish film festivals, design and graphic art exhibitions, happenings and tributes to the Danish heritage society in the US. The network includes diplomats, consuls, artists and individuals with a specific interest in Danish art as well as well-established cultural institutions in the U.S. Cultural Frontrunners is coordinated and maintained by the Embassy of Denmark in Washington, D.C., in close cooperation with the Danish Consulate General in New York.
