The Spring Exhibition 2024

The Spring Exhibition is an excellent opportunity to explore art talents from the Nordic region and elsewhere in the world. With a long legacy dating all the way back to 1857, this annual exhibition is one of the most important open-call, juried exhibitions in Europe and continues to attract plenty of visitors.

Each year, a professional jury selects from a wide range of different artists who have responded to the open call. The open format creates opportunities for discovering new artists and being introduced to different modes of artistic expression. The Spring Exhibition acts as a barometer for the present state of contemporary art, reflecting current trends within the art world. With works ranging from painting and sculpture to video installations and performance art, the exhibition lets visitors explore and appreciate the rich diversity of contemporary art.
