Juxtapose Art Fair is an international biennial in Aarhus, Denmark that celebrates the diversity of the artist-run sector. Juxtapose brings together a wide range of artist-run initiatives – meaning, projects that are led and organized by visual artists and/or independent curators, outside their individual practice. We are interested in all kinds of artist-run initiatives. Examples include artist-run exhibition spaces, artist collectives, independent art publications, online platforms, and other projects that fall outside the walls of museums and commercial galleries.

Behind the scenes we offer a series of networking and learning activities for exhibitors.
