When the art world went one way, The Other Art Fair went the other. Where elitism is the norm, the Fair dared to deviate. Art isn’t confined to convention or rule, and how the public enjoy it shouldn’t be either. Forget the typical, white-walled experience. Visitors won’t find VIP ropes outside our door.
Here, art is for everyone. The Other Art Fair have created something different, and the team wants you to experience it. The Other Art Fair combine original yet affordable works from 130 independent artists with immersive installations, performances, DJs – and a fully stocked bar.
So why not do something impulsive, get excited, and revel in the creativity? Everyone belongs here.
