WAY gallery is the kind of place that makes Vasastan's art scene genuinely exciting. Run by a passionate trio who opened the doors in November 2020, this intimate Upplandsgatan spot showcases contemporary works from both emerging and established artists — think paintings, sculptures, multimedia pieces, and even candles you can take home. The owners are the real draw: warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to talk you through whatever's on the walls.
A 5.0-rated intimate gallery on Upplandsgatan where passionate owners make contemporary art feel approachable — prints, sculptures, and a genuinely warm welcome.
They're only open Wed–Fri 12–18 and Sat 12–16, so plan your visit accordingly — and don't be shy about chatting with the owners, they love sharing the stories behind the art.
Vasastan's most welcoming art space
Tucked into Upplandsgatan in Vasastan, WAY gallery has quietly become one of Stockholm's most beloved small art spaces since opening in November 2020. Run by a passionate trio with backgrounds across the art world, the gallery rotates exhibitions that blend emerging and established artists working in painting, sculpture, and multimedia. What sets it apart is the atmosphere — this isn't a stiff white-cube experience. The owners are warm, approachable, and genuinely love talking about the work on display. You'll find affordable art prints alongside originals, plus sculptures and even candles, making it a spot where you can actually buy something without needing a gallery budget.
The space itself is intimate and thoughtfully curated, with exhibitions changing regularly enough that repeat visits always feel fresh. Reviewers consistently highlight how sweet and welcoming the staff are — a rarity in the art world — and the 5.0 Google rating across 41 reviews speaks for itself. They're also active on the Stockholm art fair circuit, bridging art and design in ways that feel natural rather than forced. If you're looking for a gallery that feels like it belongs to the neighborhood rather than dropped in from elsewhere, this is it.
Discrètement installée sur Upplandsgatan dans le quartier de Vasastan, WAY gallery est devenue depuis son ouverture en novembre 2020 l'une des petites galeries les plus appréciées de Stockholm. Dirigée par un trio passionné aux expériences variées dans le monde de l'art, elle propose des expositions tournantes mêlant artistes émergents et confirmés, peinture, sculpture et multimédia. Ce qui la distingue, c'est son atmosphère : on est loin de la galerie froide et intimidante. Les propriétaires sont chaleureux, accessibles et adorent parler de ce qu'ils exposent. On y trouve des tirages d'art abordables à côté d'originaux, des sculptures et même des bougies — de quoi repartir avec quelque chose sans forcément y laisser un salaire.
L'espace est intime et bien curaté, avec un rythme d'expositions suffisant pour que chaque visite se renouvelle. Les avis Google sont unanimes : un 5,0 parfait sur 41 avis, et les visiteurs soulignent systématiquement l'accueil adorable du personnel. La galerie est aussi active sur le circuit des foires d'art stockholmaises, faisant le pont entre art et design de façon naturelle. Si vous cherchez une galerie qui a l'âme de son quartier plutôt qu'une vitrine importée, c'est ici.
