Swab will be held 02 to 05 Oct 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. Swab is the only Contemporary Art Fair founded by an art collector this offers a unique vision for the visitors and the final buyer’s point of view. It is the International Contemporary Art Fair of Barcelona. As an highly respected Art platform, Swab is interested in hosting international galleries which are focused on younger, emerging contemporary artists, with the aim to give to this new generation of artists the opportunity to have their work seen by members of the public and the global art community, including: leading art collectors, dealers, press and curators. Swab keeps its origins based on creating opportunities for emerging galleries, artists and commissaries that begin their art career. The fair aims to break free from traditional viewing and displays some of the most innovative and emerging art in the world. The artists are all brand new talent from across Europe and the list includes many local to Barcelona. Swab is an event and I like events...

Why Swab 2025?

Swab proposal is to break with the elitist and hermetic idea that often surrounds the contemporary art scene, making it more accessible to the general public. Swab wants to be a Fair to discover, a place to find works never seen at other Fairs. That is the reason why its selection committee formed by gallery directors and art professionals not only make a selection of received applicants. At Swab, process of election is based on searching and following the artist’s works from any discipline that represents in any way the emergent art of their countries. Swab combines the participation at the Fair by invitation and by application.

The event provides a lot of opportunities for niche-specific exchange of professional know-how. Swab is at the Fira Montjuic Exhibition Centre in Barcelona which is a major venue in the city and is easy to get to. So if you are looking for some high culture to broaden your artistic horizons then SWAB is definitely an event not to miss.
