The Other Art Fair returns to Bristol in July
The Other Art Fair is returning to the Arnolfini in July following a successful debut event last year.
Potential buyers will have the chance to meet 80 artists face-to-face, with the fair from July 22-24 also hosting unique pop-up immersive experiences, an award-winning film showcase and bespoke interactive installations.
The 2016 guest artist is yet to be revealed but previous artists have included Martin Parr, Tracey Emin, taxidermy artist Polly Morgan and Gavin Turk. All have produced limited edition prints sold exclusively at the fair for £50 to £100.
“The Other Art Fair is designed to create an inclusive and relaxed environment to purchase art, whether you are a regular art buyer or looking to make your first investment for a new home,” says fair director Ryan Stanier.
“Our fair is unique as a platform for art lovers to buy directly from artists, meet them face-to-face and understand the exciting processes behind individual artworks.
“Bristol is a fantastic culture-rich city so it’s the obvious place to host our only fair outside London. The talent pool is huge in the region so visitors can expect to discover great local talent as well as national names.”
This year’s fair will feature a broad range of genres including photography, print-making, painting, sculpture, mixed media, ceramics, street art and even taxidermy, with prices starting from just £50.
The Other Art Fair Bristol is the sole UK edition outside London, with the third being The Other Art Fair Sydney. The inaugural Bristol edition opened in June 2015 and attracted more than 4,500 visitors across the weekend.
