The theme of the exhibition
Phoenix - art in motion
We are rebuilding Art Nordic like a phoenix: rising from the ashes to soar higher, shine brighter and ignite sparks of creativity in every corner of everyday life. Art in motion is our promise: that audiences don’t just see art – they are moved by it.
A myth of renewal
The phoenix is the mythical bird that rises from its own flames. It stands for transformation, courage and hope – exactly the energy we bring to Art Nordic 2026. Nothing is static here. Everything is in motion.
Intuitive walking flow
An exhibition designed for a total experience
We create an intuitive walking flow that guides visitors – almost by instinct – through artists, exhibitors and communal zones. Every step is a discovery where nothing is lost and every corner holds new surprises.
Movement before form:
Large installations, intimate meetings and digital experiments side by side.
Community & conversation:
From experienced collectors to curious first-time buyers, everyone should leave with new ideas and a desire to be part of the community.
Accessibility & Inclusion:
We curate with a focus on access, sensuality and respect – including a visible, dignified focus on para-art, where artists with physical and mental challenges are given a platform and audiences encounter art with new perspectives.
