I found this link through the Crafts Council listings:
Kunsthåndværk i Centrum
KiC is the largest censored fair for crafts and arts in Denmark. The fair is a returning event since 2005, and it takes place every year around the beginning of November.
The opportunity to show at this type of event would provide an in-route to Europe and Scandanavia (where there is a strong history of hand knitting and felting that is still going strong). I also have family in Denmark which could help with connections. Applications for November 2009 are to be in by 1st April 09.

Niki Russell was on the Connect course a few years ago. He spoke about his experience beyond the gallery. Here’s what he is doing now: REACTOR
It was engaging, but after having had 2 previous sessions led by fine arts focussed speakers I am starting to want more of a crafts input from the sessions. It’s interesting how, knowing that the course covers a number of disciplines, few of the speakers see the need to find out what we do and tailor their talk to the group mix.
Useful pointers included : how to negotiate the use of a space to exhibit in : how to get a mixture of arts and non-arts people in your audience : making notes of other artist’s work you like so you can approach them for future shows : getting things done for free – flyers, refreshments… : thinking about the way in which you show your work : documenting your event : taking a collaborative or committee approach
