Performances and experiences for you to discover and immerse yourself in.
Balcones Distilling
The Other Art Fair is continuing its partnership with award-winning Balcones Distilling to celebrate the artistry of whisky-making and the deep connection between craftsmanship and creativity.
Now in its third year, the Spirit of Balcones: Artist in Residence program remains the cornerstone of Balcones’ creative partnership with The Other Art Fair. Established to support artists who defy convention and expand the way we see the world, the program reflects the same bold, boundary-pushing ethos that drives Balcones’ approach to whisky-making in Texas.
With backgrounds in art, music, and writing, and led by a head distiller who is also a master ceramicist, the Balcones team are artists first, distillers second. For them, whisky is a canvas: a delicate dance between science and soulful expression, shaped by the rhythms of the Texas climate. There is no finish line, only a continuous journey of exploration and discovery. This partnership celebrates creative possibility and the freedom of self-expression.
In addition to the Artist in Residence program, attendees at The Other Art Fair will have the opportunity to engage with members of the Balcones distillery team, enjoy signature Balcones craft cocktails, and sample award-winning American Single Malts that could only come from Texas.


Friday Late Partner: KCRW
The fashions. The mischief. The drinks. Our Friday Late party has a reputation.
From the lewks and the live music to the popping outdoor patio and the bustling bar scene, Friday Late is wild, weird, and about as Other as it gets. And this year is no exception. Friday Late delivers art shopping, beats from KCRW DJ Dan Wilcox, late-night bites from LA’s best food trucks and moments to make your weekend unforgettable.
Come out with us 5 – 10 PM.
KCRW is your always-on connection to music, news, culture. As NPR’s flagship public radio station in Southern California and a community service of Santa Monica College, KCRW connects the interesting to the interested—through one-of-a-kind experiences that are always excellent, essential, and accessible. We are the curators of the LA experience—sharing stories, sounds, and perspectives that reflect the rich cultural tapestry of this city—always free, never behind a paywall.

New Futures Recipient
Art should never be elite.
The New Futures program is part of our continued mission to break down traditional barriers of the contemporary art world by giving prizing to talented, often underrepresented, emerging artists. Each recipient is given free exhibition space at The Other Art Fair along with access to networks and opportunities designed to jump-start their careers.
Kipkemoi is a German-Kenyan self-taught artist based in Los Angeles. Raised in northern Germany and shaped by his Kenyan heritage, Kip’s work explores themes of belonging, identity, and his everlasting question of “Where Is Home?”. Working primarily in acrylic medium, he uses the contrast of bright color palettes and monochromatic portraiture to highlight the emotional depth of the subjects. He aims to universalize the subjects’ lived experience, and make it relatable across cultural and geographic borders. Kip wants his art to focus on the inherent sameness of our human experience, as he expands my own understanding of belonging.
