An Art Fair for a new generation of Art buyers.
The Other Art Fair is the leading artist fair to discover and buy art direct from the very best emerging artistic talent. Founded in London in 2011, the fairs are now strongly established in the US, UK, and Australia, with annual and biannual editions across the globe in London, Sydney, Melbourne, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and Chicago – and plenty more to come!
Following a successful second edition in May 2019 The Other Art Fair is thrilled to return to Chicago May 27-30 in a exciting new venue, Skylight at the Chicago Board of Trade Building, presenting a hand picked selection of 120 artists with artworks starting from $150.
Celebrated for its unique and immersive visitor experience, The Other Art Fair Chicago will delight and inspire art lovers with appearances from a distinguished Guest Artist, immersive art projects and theatre performances, live music, a mouth-watering restaurant and bar area, and much more.
Welcome to The Other Art Fair Chicago
The Other Art Fair was born from a realization of the disparity between an audience eager to discover the next big thing and talented artists struggling to gain recognition. Eight years on, the effects of the fair’s growing reputation are not only demonstrated through the support of leading individuals in the art world but also the frequency of success stories from past exhibitors.
We are delighted that so many of our artists have been successful within the traditional gallery system: as prestigious international galleries choose to represent our artists, these individuals emerge in the spotlight of the art world as the names of the future. In addition, the nature of the fair attracts artists with an entrepreneurial flair and long-term vision who recognise the value of the fair beyond artwork sales.
Thank you to all artists, visitors, and friends who have supported the fair over the past eight years. I look forward to welcoming you to our third edition of The Other Art Fair Chicago in 2020.
