SUPERMARKET – Stockholm Independent Art Fair is an international art fair for artist-run initiatives. SUPERMARKET is dedicated to exhibiting artist-run spaces, artists’ collectives, nomadic projects and independent initiatives from all over the world.

The art fair is accompanied by the public Talks and Performance programme with invited artists and speakers from Sweden and abroad. SUPERMARKET takes place annually in Stockholm and in 2026 celebrates its 20th anniversary, which we expect will attract a larger interest. This year, the commercial art fair Market will also take place in parallel at the harbour Frihamnen.

We now accept applications from artist-run spaces of all kinds.

Please note that applications from individual artists will not be considered. If you are an artist interested in participating, you are welcome to contact us about the Meetings Expanded programme.

SUPERMARKET 2026 theme: The Great Gala

It is time for the Great Gala, time to celebrate in style! Together we will mark our 20th anniversary, a milestone for the artist-run sector. Think big, bring on the splendour, and show the best and the brightest art there is to see. The history, presence and future intertwine in this special edition of SUPERMARKET.

Is it possible to choose from different sizes of exhibition booths? 

Yes, there are three options that you can choose from:

Large exhibition stand (approx. 12–13 sqm, for example 2x6 m or 2.5x5 m)

Small exhibition stand (approx. 6 sqm, for example 2x3 m)

Presentation stand (approx 2 sqm, for example 1x2 m)

Participation prices range from approximately €400 (around €500 incl. VAT) for a presentation stand, to about €653 (approximately €817 incl. VAT) for the larger booths.

How do I apply? 

You apply online right here on our website. The application is done in four steps:

• Sign up for a user account on our website and sign in. If you already have an account, then you only sign in.
• Fill in the applications details; information about your space/initiative and information about your planned exhibition at Supermarket 2026.
• Do not forget to enclose additional attachments, e.g. images, videos or other relevant information, since this allows us to make a better selection.
• Submit your application. 

Due to the high number of applications, we ask applicants to be as specific as possible when describing your space/initiative and exhibition proposal. 

How does the selection process work? 

After the application deadline Supermarket's project team gathers all the applications and materials and the selection process begins. The assessement period takes several weeks where we go through every application, check that you filled in all the compulsory information, go through your additional materials (images, links, project proposal etc.) and then individually comment on each application. After this there is a group assessement where we make the selection of usually about fifty to seventy galleries.

If you need a preliminary letter of invitation to support your funding application prior to the official announcement of the selected galleries, please contact us as this is possible.

As an exhibitor you need to arrive several days in advance to be able to set up your booth and have it ready for the first day of the art fair. Generally we advise the exhibitors to arrive on the Sunday or Monday preceding the opening dates.

I am not part of an artist-run space. Can I apply as an individual?

As an individual you cannot apply as exhibitor but instead you can apply to the Meetings Expanded programme. As a participant in this programme you do not exhibit but take part in a special programme of talks, seminars and guided tours. You get invited to the Meetings programme, Exhibitor gatherings, Exhibitor party, Supermarket Forum and have access to the VIP Exhibitor lounge. An organisation can apply for 1–3 persons to participate in the programme. The possibility for two people to share one place can be given by prior arrangement.

I am a performance artist. Can I also take part in Supermarket? 

Yes, Supermarket Talks & Performance programme is just for you. Performance artists, audio-visual artists with a great proposal for an event, guest speakers with a topic to discuss or project to present – you are welcome to contact us. 

I have many more questions regarding Supermarket and the application process. Who can I contact?
