The largest guide to alternative art spaces around the world.
The Alternative Art Guide is a new tool to discover art spaces that are often difficult to find. With over 1200 spaces worldwide it is the largest online overview of non-profit, artist-run, and independent art spaces. The interactive map makes it easier to get the most out of a visit to a new city, or to find out what is around the corner at home.
Additionally, Alternative Art Guide provides insight into local conditions for the presentation of contemporary art with a collection of articles. The articles are contributed by artist-run spaces and curators in the field, raising questions about locality versus globalisation and how different art practices take shape around the world.
The guide will continually be updated by adding new spaces to the overview, and to keep track of spaces when they move or close.

For Supermarket 2019 we have put out an open call to show a global view on local perspectives. Art spaces can propose a single-channel video work by artist(s) that they find representative for their local art scene or simply consider to be a fantastic artist. We will show these videos at Supermarket 2019 in Stockholm, promoting the proposed artists, the art spaces and also the respective local art scenes.
