The Independent Artist Fair Returns to the Brooklyn Expo Center for Its 7th Edition, Introducing New Local Partnerships, 130 Artists and Special Installations by Brooklyn-based Artists
SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Other Art Fair, a leading artist fair for discovering emerging artists, is set to host its first 2021 in-person Brooklyn fair edition July 22-25, at the Brooklyn Expo Center. The Other Art Fair will host 130 independent and emerging artists, each handpicked by a committee of art world experts. Visitors will be able to connect with artists in-person and explore thousands of original artworks across various media—including painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and more—in a range of prices from $100 to $10,000. The Other Art Fair will also present dynamic art installations, special features and creative activities for visitors to enjoy.
The Other Art Fair will showcase the Brooklyn winners of the New Futures award, Caroline Boreri, Watson Mere and Wenlu Bao, who will present their artworks for the first time at an art fair. Launched in 2021, New Futures is an initiative developed to champion talented local artists at the start of their careers by awarding them exhibition space, peer-to-peer mentoring, and one-on-one mentorship with members of The Other Art Fair’s team. As part of its ongoing mission to support and create opportunities for emerging artists, The Other Art Fair seeks to nurture promising and underrepresented artists from the local art community.
“As we return for our first Brooklyn fair in 2021, we are excited to welcome back our artists and fair visitors. It has been a long time coming and we’re back better than ever with some exciting new features and programming inspired by the city,” said Ryan Stanier, founder of The Other Art Fair. “Along with some of our partners that have been with us since the first Brooklyn edition, we’ll also be working with new local partners that share our same mission of bringing art to a new generation of art buyers.”
The Other Art Fair is partnering with ArTech Collective, an organization and community arts center that provides opportunities for artists to develop and express themselves through inclusive, innovative and accessible approaches to traditional and new media. The Fair will feature the works of five abstract artists, who are members of ArTech Collective -- Wayne Anderson, Maria Alcantara, Elvin Flores, Oswald James, Frances Riordan and Howie Stone -- who explore different techniques in art to communicate their perceptions of the world. Based in the Bronx, the studio is an extension of AHRC NYC’s mission to find ways for children and adults with intellectual and other developmental disabilities to live their lives to their fullest potential.
The Other Art Fair remains committed to the safety and wellbeing of its artists and fair attendees and will be executing safety precautions in accordance with local health guidelines to ensure visitors and artists feel comfortable within the fair environment.
