The Other Art Fair
Ambika P3, London
A place for artists to sell work directly to both established and first time buyers and gain exposure to galleries
The success of setting up two pop-up galleries in Covent Garden highlighted to me both the abundance of exceptional, new, emerging artists in London and the amount of interest in buying work directly from these unrepresented talents. It seemed nonsensical that, as a city, we were producing some of the most exciting creative minds, and yet it was becoming more and more difficult for them to gain recognition. From this realization The Other Art Fair was born - providing a place for artists to sell work directly to both established and first time buyers and gain exposure to galleries. It was also an opportunity for visitors to gain unprecedented access to the best undiscovered artists. Throughout the day there are Other creative things to enlighten, entertain and inspire visitors: live performance art, free curated walks, acoustic music sessions and a bar to relax with a coffee or a refreshing cocktail away from the bustle of the fair.
