SUPERMARKET is an international artist-run art fair that provides a showcase of artists’ initiatives from all over the world with the aim to display their unique projects and ideas, create opportunities for new networks on the Swedish and international art scene, and share the passion and vitality that are present in this sphere of the art world.

SUPERMARKET has been arranged since 2007 by a small group of organisers most of whom are artists themselves in reaction to the new commercial art fair Market. Initiated and organised by artists, this project has rapidly evolved from a modest group of local initiatives to a full-fledged international art exhibition that has made its mark and helped firmly establish Stockholm on the art world map. Since the premiere of Supermarket in 2007, the fair has been held at venus such as Kulturhuset (Stockholm House of Culture), Svarta Huset (The Black House) at Telefonplan and ‘Slaughterhouse 5’ in the Meatpacking district near Ericsson Globe.   

SUPERMARKET has altogether featured exhibitors from more than 60 countries, all part of a growing international trend of artist-run galleries, project spaces, artist collectives and other artists'​ initiatives.

SUPERMARKET hosts a number of programmes in addition to the main exhibition: We offer Supermarket Talks & Performance programme, Supermarket MEETINGS and the Professional Networking Participants programme. Annually, In parallel to the art fair, Supermarket publishes the Supermarket Art Magazine. 

It is becoming increasingly common for artists to take matters into their own hands and set up galleries and project spaces. SUPERMARKET is an arena for such artist-run initiatives. The aim is for SUPERMARKET to be a place where a wider public can become a part of what is happening on the artist-run scene. SUPERMARKET wants to offer the visitor an exhibition with unexpected meetings and experiences rather than focusing on sales.
