Museum Gösta Werner och Havet in Simrishamn has opened applications for ‘Höstsalongen 2026’, the museum’s jury-assessed autumn salon, with the application period running from 15 August to 17 September. According to the museum’s newsletter, the exhibition will take place from 10 October to 1 November 2026 at Museum Gösta Werner in Simrishamn, Sweden.
The museum describes this year’s edition as the fifth anniversary of the salon, which it says draws hundreds of professional artists and talented amateur artists. The call presents ‘Höstsalongen’ as a broad survey of contemporary work in different media, bringing together painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, textile art and more in what the museum calls a playful exhibition.
The jury for 2026 consists of Maria Granström, who has long experience in valuation of art and craft at Bukowskis, and Magnus Jensner, an art historian and former museum director. No further selection criteria were given in the source material, but the museum’s announcement makes clear that the exhibition is jury-assessed rather than open-admission.
The call was issued through the museum’s newsletter on 14 August 2026. The newsletter also frames the salon as part of Museum Gösta Werner’s autumn programme in Skåne, though the verified source material only explicitly gives the exhibition dates and venue for the salon itself. Separate newsletter items about membership and other upcoming activities were included in the mailing, but the call for entries remains the main announced event.
Museum Gösta Werner och Havet is a small museum in Simrishamn with a website that uses the Gösta Werner name and refers to its programme as part of the cultural life of Österlen. In the announcement for ‘Höstsalongen 2026’, the institution emphasizes the salon’s reach across different artistic practices and its appeal to both established practitioners and serious hobby artists.
Applications are open until 17 September 2026. ‘Höstsalongen 2026’ is scheduled for 10 October to 1 November 2026 at Museum Gösta Werner in Simrishamn.
