Västerås International Art Fair

We are Launching the first-ever international art fair in Västerås, Sweden in 2020!In the oldest city in Sweden and Northern Europe, which remains one of the main logistical centers in Sweden, Our association has created VIAF ( Västerås International Art Fair ) which is opening the doors for integration and collaboration to get through one of the worst time that has faced our generation, using the best medium of communication “Art”.

Västerås is only an hour train ride from Stockholm and also close to Uppsala, and the city center is walking distance from the train.

My name is Ghada Zaky and I have been running Galleri SoHo in the heart of Västerås for a couple of years together with my husband. We currently have 2 galleries which along with some other venues in the city center will hold the art fair.

Our mission is to promote the appreciation of visual arts by presenting high-quality and diversity of different media in an actual and virtual space that allows a large number of people to visit our city and to explore contemporary art which supports our mission to nurture the love of art.

Art is so important in difficult times like this, and can be a comfort and inspiration by it´s

beauty and ability to connect us to universal emotions.

To meet in such an inspiring environment is a privilege.

As we know some people are not able to travel we want to enable you to participate on-line.

We will see representation not only from Nordic and European artists but from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. You will also hear talented speakers that will inspire you to see more in Art and in your own environment.

We are happy to collaborate with local establishments as Arty, Handelskammaren Mälardalen & ABF.

Also International as Artsy & Euro-Arab Art Today .

We are taking all precautions for the current pandemic outbreak and we are following the Swedish Health authorities rules and regulations.

So welcome to join us in Västerås or on our online platform where you can access and

purchase some of the beautiful art pieces from our visiting artists.
