GLITTER BALL SHOWROOM & PROJECTS
We are delighted to have participated in Juxtapose, 2025
Glitter Ball showroom & projects focusses on queer and marginalised contemporary arts practice and works closely with selected artists. Artistic expression is our heart and soul. Thinking like a museum and being like a family creates an environment where artists can experiment, play and take risks. We are part of a fluid network of artists’ initiatives stretching across the whole of Europe and extending to Africa, America, Australia and the far East.
Glitter Ball showroom & projects supports, facilitates, and exposes visual practice that might otherwise remain annexed.
Update Summer 2025: striking through ‘showroom &’ in our name marks the move away from our previous physical venue without erasing our history. It, coincidentally, allows a specific ambiguity in the new name – where ‘projects’ can be understood both as the plural form of the noun project, and at the same time as the present tense of the verb to project. This double meaning (double entendre) is especially exciting to us as it lends us an identity that is at once both one thing and another.
Glitter Ball’s Enköping showroom 2018 - 2022, was an artist-run venture for contemporary art and artists – a local space for international art. We invited exciting and inspiring artists and projects to present artworks and events in our showroom on the ground floor of the Old Gymnasium.
Everyone was welcome at our show openings. They were a great opportunity to meet the exhibiting artist(s) as well as other artists and art lovers.
We also offered visits to the artist’s studios that were in the same building.
