Staff

Do not forget to send us the names of your staff prior to arrival to our information coordinator Elin Wik visitors@supermarketartfair.com (Deadline 10 April).
During the fair, if any booth should need more staff to access the fair at a time, a 4-day pass can be purchased for half price (SEK 300 per person) or SEK 100 for one day. These can be purchased at the entrance desk.
If agreed upon, member organisations that have many people scheduled for watching their exhibition stand can swap the name tags between themselves. However staff exceeding 5 (or 2) will have to pay admission on the Professional Preview on Wednesday.
Insurance
If you intend to bring valuable equipment to Supermarket 2026, please ensure that it is covered by insurance, as this will not be provided by Supermarket.
Invoices
The invoices will be sent out by email in February–March. Payments from outside EU can be made with lower bank fees using WISE. If you have a question regarding your invoice, email us at: info@supermarketartfair.com.
Sales and VAT rules
You manage eventual sales yourself, and we don’t ask for any provision. We can help to manage the contact with art consultants that do aquisitions. In these cases you will usually have to provide an electronic invoice from a company. The easies way for private sales is that you ask for a Paypal or cash payment.
Here is information about VAT rules. If an artist who has a smaller sales number than €28,000 per year sells the work they don’t have to add VAT. If it is higher than €28,000 the price should include 12% VAT.

The tickets are available from Thursday 23 April at the info desk. Each gallery receives 2 free tickets and additional tickets have to be purchased.
Logo, flyers and posters
The SUPERMARKET 2026 logo is available to download in different formats in our Media Library. You will also find flyers and print-yourself-posters here.
Installation and floorplan ^
All booths will have access to electric outlets. There are extension cables and multiple sockets to borrow.
There are some basic tools to borrow, but exhibitors are usually borrowing from each other.
Any tools that Supermarket can provide are collected at the info desk.
See Where to buy section below for information on art and materials suppliers, print shops and hardware stores.
FAQ
- Is it possible to hang heavy artworks or monitors on the wall?
The walls are made of masonite with filling, so drilling and plugging does not work for heavy pieces. The walls have a frame made of 5 cm solid wood. If you can fix a wooden screw close to the joints it will work. Hanging with wire from the top of the wall is another option. The third option: a nail hole where you put a small S-hook is stronger than only a screw or nail.
The best way to hang a monitor if you can not fix it to the solid wooden frame is to cover the wall with chipboard. - Is it possible to hang things from the ceiling?
Please ask us before if you plan to hang something. The ceiling height is between 4.6 and 7 metres, and only at the start of the installation it might be possible to drill holes at this height if you have exact position.
In some areas there are pipes, ventilation ducts, and fluorescent lights at a lower height. Light objects might be possible to hang from the hanging constructions, but please confirm with us before. Some areas have a lower ceiling height (2.7 m), which we have already mentioned in the newsletter.
- Can we paint the walls?
If you want to paint the walls of the booth, use matte paint. If you use shiny paint, permanent marker or wallpaper that cannot be removed, you will be charged SEK 750 + VAT per 1 m section. If you want to use wallpaper, we suggest that you staple it instead of gluing it.
If you want to paint your booth, the floor should be covered. Small stains should be removed with water and cloth.
- Are there any restrictions for drilling/sawing the walls?
Small holes that can be filled are ok, but the exhibitors will have to reimburse walls with irreparable damages (SEK 750 + VAT per 1 m section). All holes in the walls should be filled before the exhibitors leave the fair!
Please note that you cannot drill in the floor of the venue.
-
Is it necessary for exhibitors to finish the installation before the Forum day on Wednesday 22 April?
Yes, your booth needs to be finished by 11.00 on Wednesday 22 April. Why? From 11.00 on Wednesday we will hold the press preview, and from 15.00 the Supermarket Forum seminar day will take place in the fair. Due to limitations of space, only one person per gallery will be able to participate in the Forum.
- Where can exhibitors keep packing material?
Tie it together and clearly mark it with the gallery name/phone number. We will further specify the location of our storage room.
- What kind of AC power plugs and sockets are used in Sweden?
CEE 7 standard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEE_7_standard_AC_plugs_and_sockets – a voltage of 230 V and a frequency of 50 Hz.
- Where can exhibitors print and copy?
See Where to buy… section below.

Departure
You can start to deinstall your booth only after the closing time on Sunday 26 April (18.00–21.00). It is important that you check out before you leave.

Parking in Stockholm
Roadside parking in the city costs a lot of money. There are five different rates – ‘Taxa 1–5’. A blue sign on the street informs which rate applies. A good way is to download the parking app ‘Stockholm Parking’. Otherwise, there are pay machines. Roadside parking is usually free in the evenings and Sundays. The information on what hours you are supposed to pay a parking fee is stated on the parking signs.
In the suburbian area around the area the 4th rate (Taxa 4) is charged: 10 SEK per hour between 07 and 19, after that free of charge.
Car parks (garages) offer ‘evening parking’ at a low price. The fee is SEK 50 from 18.00 to midnight. For this you pay SEK 50 in the pay machine and the parking time you get will automatically ‘jump’ to midnight. (We will update information about the parking in Globen, Avicii Arena and 3 Arena)

Meetings ^
Supermarket Meetings
Supermarket Meetings is a peer programme for exhibitors and participating artists to get together and talk. Meetings take place on Thursday and Friday in rooms away from excitement of the exhibition hall. Each meeting consist of between five and eight participants and a moderator who introduces the topic and ensures that the meeting runs smoothly.
The aim is to exchange ideas, compare experiences and even build new connections and collaborations.
Meetings are not open to the public, they are therefore a ’safe space’ for frank and honest discussions amongst peers.
An online booking form for Meetings will be posted here.
We are happy to answer any questions you might have! Email: meetings@supermarketartfair.com
Meetings Expanded
Meetings Expanded is a unique programme for artists and art professionals with the objectives to increase the exchange of knowledge and experience for artists and artist-run organisations worldwide. Meetings Expanded provide a daily schedule of networking activities that connect the participant with the local art scene, such as art institutions, galleries and cultural institutes, and with international exhibitors. The focus is to invite artists and art professionals who act as exhibition organisers and other influential members of artistic communities across the world to meet and exchange experiences and strategies, enabling the possibility of new projects and collaborations.
We are happy to answer any questions you might have. Email: alice@supermarketartfair.com
Forum
Supermarket Forum will take place on Wednesday 22 April, 15.00–18.00 and is followed by the Professional Preview.
Send the name of one staff member who is going to represent your gallery at Forum. The participation for one person is included in the exhibition fee. Due to size limitations only one person per gallery can take part. The remaining members can join from 16.30 when the guided tours start. Send the name of your participant to alice@supermarketartfair.com by 1 March.
Media Library ^
Logotype
Supermarket logo is available in eps (vector graphics) and png (raster graphics) format.
Vector graphics are based on vectors (also called paths, or strokes) which lead through locations called control points. Vector art is ideal for printing. Since the art is made from a series of mathematical curves, it will print very crisply even when resized. For instance, one can print a vector logo on a small sheet of copy paper, and then enlarge the same vector logo to billboard size and keep the same crisp quality.
A raster (bitmap) graphic has an ideal resolution and blur or pixelate excessively if it is enlarged more than that size. 
Therefore the logo is available in different sizes to be used in newsletters and on the web. The png format allows transparent background.
