Loyal Gallery Relocates to Historic Chapel in Lund, Sweden

Loyal Gallery has moved from Stockholm to a 19th-century chapel in Lund, Sweden, seeking a slower pace and new exhibition possibilities. Founders Martin Lilja and Amy Giunta, after two decades in Stockholm, now operate in a historic brick building with stained-glass windows and massive green church doors designed by architect Helgo Zettervall. Giunta describes the Swedish art scene as strong but occasionally insular, with the chapel offering a shift in perspective. The vertical space, softened light, and scale invite different exhibition-making approaches, allowing artwork to hold space rather than compete for attention. Exhibitions will unfold throughout the chapel, providing artists opportunities to think beyond standard gallery formats. The gallerists aim to create an environment where work can expand and settle differently.
