How to Apply

For the 2025 edition, Market Art Fair is moving from only accepting applications from galleries that represent and thus can show Nordic artists at the fair to opening for applications with international artists and presentations. This will open the world to curious visitors who appreciate the chance to explore a curated selection of some of the most interesting Nordic and international art locally.

Eligible galleries

• Galleries whose primary business is the arrangement of art exhibitions, showing the works of living artists, in close collaboration with these artists, and which responsibly market and sell the works of these artists.

• The gallery must be open to the public with regularly staged exhibitions in the gallery’s own premises.

• Galleries may combine representing living artists with estate representation, art advisory, or other art-related sales.

• The gallery is operated in accordance with the basic principle of divided risk with the artist.

• The gallery practises long-term representations of artists and operates in a professional and responsible manner towards its stakeholders.

• The gallery may not be financed in larger parts by public funding or be primarily artist-run.

Market Extended

Take the opportunity to exhibit sculptures and artworks that go beyond the booth context in an outdoor setting. The artworks will be placed around Liljevalchs Konsthall and in the garden shared with the restaurant Blå Porten. We prioritise artists included in your main fair presentation but will also consider suggestions for larger works and sculptures by other Nordic artists represented by the gallery. Please email Josefine Hardstedt, josefine@marketartfair.com for more information on how to apply for Market Extended.

VIP Programme

Market Art Fair offers our guests a great VIP experience during the fair. We work dedicatedly in inviting international collectors, art professionals and press to Stockholm to promote Nordic art and to connect them with our exhibitors, but also to provide great opportunities for the local collector base to get introduced to new galleries. By invitation only, Market’s VIP Programme during the fair includes lunches and evening receptions, visits to artists’ studios and private collections, a luxury accommodation stay and car services. Exhibitors are encouraged to propose activities for the program, as well as invite your important guests.
