Sara Berner Bengtsson Discusses Market Art Fair’s Rise as the Premier Destination for Nordic Art
With her background solidified in Art History and Finance, Sara Berner Bengtsson finds managing the Market Art Fair the perfect amalgamation of her interests and expertise. Bengtsson’s impressive career includes pivotal roles at renowned art institutions such as Christie’s and White Cube. Bengtsson also held the position of director at Galerie Forsblom in Stockholm. Now, as the Managing Director of the Stockholm Market Art Fair, Bengtsson leads this premier destination for Nordic art.
Under Bengtsson’s stewardship, the fair has become a hub for art enthusiasts and collectors, showcasing the vibrancy of Nordic expression. Bengtsson’s blend of financial acumen and artistic insight has been instrumental in elevating the fair’s status on the international art scene.
Three passionate Lancaster based freelance artists, Hannah Corbett, Lidia Ranns, and Julie Evans, are uniting their creative forces to transform the city into a vibrant hub of artistic expression with the expanded Lancaster Art Fair (LAF), running from August 19th to 23rd, 2025.
This year, LAF is evolving into a larger, city wide festival, thanks to their dedicated collaboration and partnerships with established local arts organisations.

On the plane back from Miami, I add up expenses versus income from this year’s Untitled Art Fair. It is our third year here, and our first bust. As a small Midwestern gallery, two major art fairs a year — Untitled in Miami and the Outsider Art Fair in New York — can generate a quarter of our annual income. Even more importantly, they help us develop a national collector base for regional artists. There is no other way to survive.
It is expensive to participate in more selective and carefully curated international fairs, such as Untitled. Our three-walled, 14 x 14-foot space cost $17,400. Housing for the staff, transportation, food, and additional framing rounded out the total to about $30,000.
