OpenArt is a public art biennial with the next exhibition taking place June to September 2026 in the city center of Örebro, Sweden. Contemporary artworks are displayed outdoors and available for public interaction day and night.

OpenArt aims to exhibit artists working in a wide variety of art mediums and techniques. We are looking for artists who are interested in the connection between art and public space. Since the exhibition will take place just before the Swedish election, we are especially interested in artworks taking on subjects such as collective processes, democracy and/or sustainable change. Artworks that engage the inhabitants of Örebro and invite people to imagine a new possible future.

Artists who intend to apply to OpenArt 2026 should apply with artworks that can be placed outdoors. It is possible to apply with already existing artworks or ideas to develop. We encourage artists to apply with two artworks as our aim is to show more than one artwork of the same artist.
