GUSTAVSBERGS KONSTHALL

Gustavsbergs Konsthall is Sweden’s only public art gallery specializing in contemporary craft art. The gallery opened in the summer of 2007 and has rapidly established itself as a leading venue for Swedish and international crafts. By showing a broad spectrum of crafts in thematic, groundbreaking and artistically exploratory exhibitions the gallery aims to increase public understanding of contemporary craft art and to promote discussion. Gustavsbergs Konsthall represents an open and innovative craft venue, based on traditional craft manufacturing. The exhibition schedule features crafts in all types of materials, displaying current work by internationally recognized craft artists as well as the avant-garde of the younger generation. The gallery mounts five to eight exhibitions each year.

Gustavsbergs Konsthall also runs the unique Ceramic & Glass Expo which sells high-quality, hand-picked items by Sweden’s leading craft artists. The products range in style from classical to conceptual so that the Expo acts as an important forum for the latest in Swedish ceramic and glass art, presenting the public with a sales point that is unique in Sweden

Gustavsbergs Konsthall is situated in the oldest building of the former Gustavsberg porcelain works, the so-called Gula Byggningen, where it occupies the entire upper floor. Operations are in the hands of the gallery’s management team consisting of Agneta Linton, Maj Sandell and Caroline Södergren. Since 2010 Gustavsbergs Hamn AB shares the ownership with the non-profit association Gustavsbergs Konsthall, aiming for the association to gain full responibility. The association Gustavsbergs Konsthall is supported by Värmdö kommun, the Swedish Arts Council, Stockholms Läns Landsting, among other organizations.

The directorate and members of the association Gustavsbergs Konsthall is published here.
