If you're visiting or living in Stockholm, you have the chance to enjoy art exhibitions at Slussen, Mariatorget, Zinkensdamm, Gärdet, and Fridhemsplan subway stations for free, or rather, by paying for an SL ticket.

SL has worked with young and established artists to create one of the world's longest art exhibitions. The exhibitions change every year, with 13 different exhibitions annually. The artists work with photography, painting, and collage, and the exhibitions feature personal storytelling.

Exhibitions

  • Eric Magassa's exhibition "A Love Supreme" at Slussen subway station, featuring 40 photos that are an inclusive love manifestation.
  • Jeanette Hayes' "The Waiting Game" is on display until September 2024 at Gärdet subway station, blending beautiful and ugly, everyday and festive, and preserving popular cultural images through traditional techniques like painting and collage.
  • Britta Marakatt-Labba is showcasing Sami art at Fridhemsplan subway station, depicting different aspects of Sápmi culture, landscape, and history. Her exhibition opens on October 12, 2024, and runs for a year.

You can apply as an artist to exhibit.

If you want to showcase your art, you can contact Region Stockholm with a reference to your art as a document or website. You send in an application of interest to: [email protected]. At Odenplan, you can be considered as an exhibitor only if you are a recently graduated Nordic art school student and focus on sculpture or spatial installations.

What happens to the artworks after the exhibition

Unfortunately, the artworks are destroyed as they are specially built for the purpose. It's unclear if some artworks can be saved, but feel free to contact Region Stockholm.

Take advantage of the opportunity to view the art exhibitions by stopping by during your daily commute through the subway or taking a detour to check out the artworks
