The Other Art Fair is a weekend event held in cities across the globe. Presented by Saatchi Art in Brooklyn, Melbourne, Chicago, London, Dallas, and Los Angeles.
The weekend is full of artists from every part of the world coming together to showcase their art pieces. It is a weekend curated for art fans, art connoisseurs, and event artists looking for inspiration. A community of artists brought together to showcase their work for all to enjoy.
The Other Art Fair in Los Angeles was held at The Magic Box at The Reef. Upon entering the event all guests are given a program with all the information that you will need. It has a map of the venue along with a list of artists and their designated area. The culture of The Other Art Fair has something for everyone including a few unique interactive areas like the Hand Poke Tattoo by Bluestone Babe, an audio curation by Dublab which was presented by Ace Hotel Downtown LA, Art Tours, Moments to Create your own Art and more.
The Fair is not only for those wanting to purchase art, but to be appreciated by all ages. All art is welcome there from controversial pieces, political pieces, story-telling, and abstract art. What is amazing about the wide array of work being showcased is it gives attendees the opportunity to stimulate your mind, see, touch, and be one with the art around.
Here they focused on a “Greener Future”:
“Eight years on and our mission has expanded. I believe we can still do more but in order to continue working with artists, and developing events which both stimulate and surprise our audiences, we must aim to do this in a sustainable way.
Events so often have a negative impact on the environment and an art fair is no different. We have therefore set ourselves the challenge to be more thoughtful in every decision we make as an organization and our commitment is to be as environmentally aware as possible. We are now working towards being wholly sustainable and across all our fairs we are taking steps to get much closer to that.
To do this we are working with Kate, who is very passionate about sustainability and will be curating a number of initiatives to highlight many of the issues faced by both artists and organizations like ourselves.
The Other Art Fair is committed to making a difference. I believe we are currently having a positive impact on the art world by cultivating the emerging part of the market, but in order to create art, we need a healthy world to be both inspired by and to live in.
It’s yet another reason we are The “Other” Art Fair.”
Ryan Stanier
Founder of The Other Art Fair
The Other Art Fair is a way to educate and enlighten yourself on not only a greener future but on green art. As part of the Greener Future challenge, British Visual Artist David Shrigley created a one of a kind Reusable Cup for The Other Art Fair.
The Other Art Fair is not just another Art Fair, but a movement to teach those about being green. Expressing negative taboos in a light that is beautiful. Giving comical relief to a too serious political system.
