It is important to us that both artists and visitors alike feel comfortable in attending The Other Art Fair. Therefore, in accordance with current public health guidelines, we have introduced a series of important operational changes as part of our new Safer Fair Plan. We will continue to be guided by public health advice and provide updates to this information as required.
Before you book your tickets, we ask that you read this information, which we hope will give you peace of mind ahead of your visit.

- We have increased the aisle width between artists booths to allow visitors to safely meet with artists and discover art

- There will be enhanced and regular deep cleaning processes before, during and after each day at the Fair
- Only contactless payments such as credit cards will be accepted. There will be no cash transactions at the event.
