The Spider unites Major European Art Weeks

A new era of unity and collaboration is unfolding across the European art world, as we proudly introduce “The Spider” – an innovative platform that connects and unites several prominent European Art Weeks/Weekends and Gallery Weekends. Participating events include Lisbon Art Weekend, Amsterdam Art Week, Antwerp Art Weekend, Art Weekend Budapest, Barcelona Gallery Weekend, Berlin Art Week, London Gallery Weekend, Prague Art Week, Stockholm Art Week, Vienna Art Week and Zurich Art Weekend.

The platform aims to enhance mobility and collaboration among curators, press, collectors, and other key art professionals by fostering a dynamic network for sharing knowledge, resources, and creative inspiration across Europe’s leading art scenes.

By connecting Europe’s leading cultural and artistic institutions, The Spider will amplify the unique cultural identities of participating cities. It will create a supportive environment for artists, curators, and professionals to thrive, while strengthening connections across Europe’s art world.

The Spider symbolizes strength, intricate connectivity, and the interwoven nature of the arts. It forms a web of artistic innovation and cultural exchange, with Art Weeks, Gallery Weekends, and other art festivals from across Europe coming together to kickstart this exciting venture. Each partner organization will feature The Spider Journal on their websites, sparking a broader cultural conversation by sharing diverse artistic and gallery practices from partner cities. 

Spider is shaping the future of European art, creating a dynamic ecosystem that benefits artists, audiences, and the cultural sector as a whole.
