Stockholm in May is always a good idea
...the city blossoms with art, life, and culture, and everything shines a little bit brighter.
Market Art Fair, the Nordic region’s longest-running premier art fair, blends curation, commerce, and connection. In 2025, 51 galleries showcase creative visions at Stockholm’s Liljevalchs. A boutique fair with global reach, it’s a meeting point for discovery, dialogue, and dealmaking.
We highly recommend Stockholm Art Week as THE platform that guides you through Stockholm’s prominent museums, institutions, art spaces and fairs.
During Stockholm Art Week, WILLAS contemporary, will offer an exclusive studio visit and captivating guided art tours in an architectural masterpiece, A lively After Work event, inspiring artist talks, and a thought-provoking exhibition opening—there’s something for every art lover to discover.
We look forward to seeing you, Please RSVP to secure your spot.

PANEL DICUSSION
The Role of Art in Democracy: A Conversation in Collaboration with Human Rights Watch
Market Art Fair partners with Human Rights Watch to highlight the transformative force of art in creating a more just world. In this conversation we discuss which role art plays in a democratic society; as means to create it, but also as a barometer for where we are as a civilization, and which threats artistic freedom is facing today.
On the panel: Måns Molander (HRW), Lars Strannegård (Handels), Corina Oprea (IASPIS), moderated by Sara Berner Bengtson from Market.
