Charity Partner: Arts Emergency
Arts Emergency helps young people get a fair start in the arts and humanities.
Arts Emergency is a grassroots movement that opens doors for underrepresented young people with creative ambitions, by connecting them to each other and to creative professionals.
Founded in 2013 by comedian Josie Long and activist Neil Griffiths, the organisation has helped over 2,200 young people in the UK access and thrive in creativity and culture by providing a long-term combined programme of mentorship, networking and real-world opportunities.
Someone from privilege is four times more likely to succeed in the cultural and creative sectors than someone from a working class background. Young people with disabilities, or those who come from ethnic minority backgrounds are even less likely to work in creative fields. This hasn’t changed since the 1980s.
Why? Because of extensive cuts to creative education funding at all levels; spiralling university fees; the systemic expectation of unpaid work; ‘who you know’ recruitment and insider knowledge sharing; and growing financial precarity in already under-served communities.
Arts Emergency exists to change this: creating privilege for people without privilege.
Since 2013, Arts Emergency has been redistributing cultural capital and opportunity, empowering over 1,800 under-resourced young people to be their best, most aspirational selves through 1:1 mentoring with hand-matched industry professionals, and up to ten-years’ worth of tailored assistance, real-life opportunities, network connections, and peer support.
“Arts Emergency has done more for me than ever thought possible, it has opened doors I thought were closed.” – Deja, former mentee
S l o w l y Tattoo Studio
s l o w l y Tattoo Studio presented by tattoo artists Suki and Molly G
We often talk about being “into nature” as though it’s something outside of us; something we visit or observe- but we are woven from the same cloth. We are not Mother Natures guests but rather another expression of hers.
This October s l o w l y takes the shape of a tattoo pop-up studio: inviting you to choose from a selection of designs with a focus on botanical and organic forms.
Through our thoughtfully curated space we hope to unite the feeling of the natural world with all the characteristics one might identify with a more widely accepted idea of “home” and its intimate, tender sense of belonging; warmth, smell, texture and light.
We hope that by nurturing this atmosphere, no matter where we are or how bustling the surroundings, we can invite fair-goers to step into a moment with us that feels gentle and embracing; with a permanent keepsake.
Prices from £140 – £170.

New on the Scene
Art should never be elite.
The New Futures programme is part of our continued mission to break down traditional barriers of the contemporary art world by giving a space 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.
The Winners for the October 2025 edition are UAL, Central Saint Martins Students, Uma Dehaan and Emily Bottomer
Uma Dehaan
Uma Dehaan (b. 2003) is a London-based artist and recent Central Saint Martins graduate, working primarily in painting and drawing. Rooted in abstraction, her practice explores themes of absence, stillness, and the transformation of domestic space. Through layered mark-making, colour fields, and the erasure of windows and doors, Dehaan constructs otherworldly interiors that feel at once intimate and unsettling. Her work navigates states of in-betweenness- between comfort and discomfort, presence, and ephemerality- often using negative space and subtle hints of light to evoke a quiet psychological tension.
Drawing from lived experience, Dehaan’s work borders on self-portraiture- not through likeness, but through atmosphere. Each piece becomes an observational space where time lingers, inviting viewers to inhabit a moment that resists resolution.
Emily Bottomer
Emily Bottomer (b. 1997, Derby) is a London-based artist working across painting, drawing, and sculpture. She holds an MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins (2025) and a BA in Fine Art from the University of Derby (2021).
Bottomer’s practice centres on abstract composition as a means of interrogating identity and lived experience, particularly through the lens of her working-class background. Her work explores themes of labour, dirt, control, and infiltration, with a focus on the psychological and physical states associated with liminality.
Through gestural mark-making, layering, and processes that deliberately resist refinement, Bottomer’s drawing and painting methods evoke dirt as both material and metaphor—suggesting contamination, resistance, and the seepage of the personal into institutional or regulated spaces.
Recent exhibitions include Repetitive Strain, an installation presented at the Central Saint Martins Postgraduate Art Showcase, and Letters from Grafters, exhibited during Offprint at Tate Modern.
