ArtDepå is a living, off-line circulation platform that is aimed to bring under the spotlight existing artworks by contemporary artists.

Almost every artist has an archive of their own work in their studios. It could be sketches, tryouts, works done for public or private context, works that were shown or never found their way into a gallery. ArtDepå is primarily aimed to give chance to those works to be seen and be sold.

The exhibition will bring together works by 30 artists in a dense, maximalist presentation. Works will be shown across walls, tables, stands and vitrines, creating an environment that encourages browsing and unexpected discoveries.

Who can apply?

The open call is aimed at professional artists, based in Gothenburg and the surrounding municipalities are particularly encouraged to apply, but applications are welcome from elsewhere as well.

We welcome: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture and objects, ceramics, textile, jewellery or other physical works suitable for the exhibition format.
