The Other Art Fair

The Other Art Fair 2024

The Other Art Fair is a global gathering of creative thinkers, game changers and pleasure seekers sharing emerging talent and unforgettable experiences. 

We’ve been dedicated to representing independent artists since 2011 and since then have worked with over 3,000 artists from more than 20 countries. We hosts 12 in-person fairs each year across the UK, US and Australia.

Set against the backdrop of the world’s biggest cities, each of our fairs is different. We combine boundary-pushing yet always accessible artworks from over 100 independent artists like you, with immersive installations, performances and a few curious encounters. The result is an inspiring, evocative, inclusive and fun event that reframes how art can be perceived and creates lasting connections between artists and art lovers.

Read on to find out more about how to apply to showcase your work at one of our Fairs across the globe.

Plus, check out our New Futures program, designed to launch the careers of emerging artists through prizing that includes free exhibition space and mentorship.

ART SALES COMMISSION

All art sales made onsite at the fair are processed through our central payment system. We take a 18% commission on all art sales, which covers processing fees and complimentary wrapping for buyers, so the majority always goes back to you, the artist. We also extend this 18% commission rate to all post-Fair orders taken within a month of the Fair closing, if the customer found you at one of our Fairs.
