Historical roots in Svendborg
SAK Kunstbygning originates from SAK – Svendborg Amts Kunstforening, founded in 1941 by local artists and artisans. Before moving into its present premises, exhibitions were held at various locations in Svendborg, including hotels, Svendborg Borgerforening and the former indoor swimming pool near Krøyers Have.
