Stockholm Art Week Returns 21–26 April
Stockholm Art Week returns for its 2026 edition from 21 to 26 April, with an opening event at Moderna Museet on 20 April. The week draws together the full breadth of Stockholm’s art scene, from major institutions and commercial galleries to artist-run initiatives and temporary public interventions, under a single programme designed to position the city as an international destination for contemporary art.
Two of the Nordic region’s most significant art fairs mark milestone anniversaries this year: Market Art Fair and Supermarket Art Fair, both celebrate their 20th editions. Market moves to a new venue, Magasin 9 in Frihamnen, while Supermarket takes place in Slakthusområdet. IASPIS also marks its 30th anniversary during the week.
Among the institutional highlights, Moderna Museet opens Anna Casparsson – The Isle of Bliss, and Fotografiska presents I Am Everything, a new exhibition by Lotta Antonsson. In public space, Italian artist Davide Rivalta inaugurates a new sculpture at Mynttorget in central Stockholm, and Statens konstråd presents Träet talar. Kummelholmen opens to visitors for a single day.
The programme includes artist talks at venues across the city, among them Petra Lindholm at Galleri Magnus Karlsson, Sara-Vide Ericson at the Royal Institute of Art, Filippa Arrias at Färgfabriken, and Diana Orving at Millesgården. A private viewing of Mark Dion’s installation The Classroom is held at the Stockholm School of Economics. On Saturday, an open Gallery Breakfast Tour takes in galleries in Östermalm and around Hudiksvallsgatan.
Younger and emerging voices are well represented: 25 Konstfack students present work in the group exhibition Schvung, and Parallel Collective hosts an opening night. Private home exhibitions are presented by Misschief in Vasastan and Eva Livijn in Östermalm.
Special projects include a collaboration between Porsche and sculptor Anders Krisár, presenting a purpose-made Art Car, and A Day’s March launches a tote bag and Stockholm Art Week’s official overshirt, developed with artist Rugiyatou Ylva Jallow in collaboration with Mack Art Foundation. “Stockholm Art Week is an opportunity to experience the entire city’s art scene within one week, from museums and established galleries to artist-run initiatives and temporary projects in the urban space,” says Joanna Sundström, Founder, Stockholm Art Week.
