Supermarket Art Fair [Stockholm] | 03.04.-06.04.-2025
The Supermarket Art Fair aims to promote the diversity and vitality of independent art initiatives and provide them with a platform. It seeks to stimulate international exchange between artists, project spaces, and non-commercial art organizations, and to inspire audiences with new, experimental art forms. One focus is on presenting art that is created outside the established gallery system and promoting a spirit of collaboration. The fair will take place in Stockholm from April 3 to 6, 2025.
Special features:
One of the key features of Supermarket Art Fair is its focus on artist-led initiatives, which highlights its self-organized model. This sets it apart from traditional art fairs, which are primarily geared toward commercial galleries. The fair offers a diverse program that goes beyond pure exhibition space. This includes lectures, discussions, performances, and a magazine area that presents independent art publications. Supermarket is also known for its relaxed and inclusive atmosphere, which promotes direct contact between artists and visitors and aims to facilitate access to contemporary art.
Target audience:
The fair is aimed at a broad audience interested in contemporary art, especially those who want to look beyond the mainstream. This includes art lovers, collectors, curators, students, artists, and representatives of non-commercial art spaces. It attracts both a local Swedish audience and international visitors who want to explore the dynamic independent art scene in Stockholm and beyond.
History:
The Supermarket Art Fair was founded in 2007 by a group of Swedish artist initiatives as a counterpart to commercial art fairs. It arose from the need to create a platform for independent and experimental art, which often finds no place in the traditional art market. Since its inception, the fair has continued to evolve and has become an important event in the international calendar for alternative art formats, attracting artists and initiatives from around the world.
