MARKET 2011 will take place February 18–20121


Besides the main fair MARKET also includes:

MARKET Emerging - a section for newly established galleries, where we put the young and expansive Nordic art scene in the spotlight.

MARKET Editions & Multiples is geared towards galleries working with high quality editions and multiples.

MARKET At Large gives the possibility for participating galleries to display art work that may be difficult to show in a regular stand, such as art projects, sculptures and installations.



MARKET is proud of its partnership with the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. The choice of location, a former 18th century palace in central Stockholm, gives the art fair its unique character.

MARKET collaborates with Sheraton Stockholm Hotel next to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and can offer special rates to visiting galleries and visitors.

MARKET took place for the first time in February 2006 at the initiative of a group of gallerists looking to create a high quality fair in central Stockholm. In 2007 the organisation of the fair was taken over by Konstmässan Market i Stockholm AB.The fair puts Swedish and Nordic galleries in the spotlight and participants show a wide selection of the most exciting international contemporary art. The presence of galleries based outside of Sweden has increased every year and the fair has been very well received by collectors, visitors and press.

For over 270 years the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts has promoted the role of art and architecture in Swedish society. Through its cooperation with the Academy, MARKET anchors the forward looking art scene in a rich artistic tradition. MARKET strives to be the best possible meeting place for galleries and the art-interested public. The fair’s vision is to be the Nordic art scene’s premier fair.


The selection is carried out by the Selection Committee based on the focus and character of the fair. Please contact fair management with any questions concerning MARKET or the selection procedure.info@market-art.se.
