2.The Other Art Fair 15th-18th October

The Other Art Fair is the UK’s favourite fair to meet and buy from the very best emerging and undiscovered artists, carefully selected by our expert selection committee. The fair is unique in its approach to supporting artists, providing a platform where they can further cultivate their professional careers. In addition to the four days at the fair, they support them throughout the year by offering free seminars, workshops and lectures all given by industry leaders. They also provide our artists with the opportunity to sell online, as well as open up doors for individuals to connect with companies and associations. This autumn they return to East London's iconic Old Truman Brewery for our tenth anniversary edition from 15-18 October, presenting a variety of quality works, spanning all mediums, by 130 contemporary artists. Celebrated for its unique visitor experience, The Other Art Fair’s tenth edition will continue to delight and inspire our visitors with appearances from our guest artist, immersive theatre, live music and a G&T bar.
