LUCKY STRIKE is a floating stage for shared encounters in contemporary art. Drifting through Stockholm and beyond without a fixed address, it embraces risk, discovery, and the chance of a lucky strike. A platform in motion, it connects artists and publics across Sweden and internationally through exhibitions, music, and hybrid events.
