In the art world, getting your work seen is often half the battle. Competing with household names for gallery spaces can feel like a lost cause, leaving many to throw in the towel altogether. But what if there was an event designed specifically with emerging talent in mind?

Imagine a festival open exclusively to the undiscovered, the hidden gems of the creative world, that promises to connect artists directly with buyers. Good news, The Other Art Fair is making this all come true.

Established in the UK nearly five years ago and launched in Sydney last year, The Other Art Fair offers a one-of-a-kind experience, focused on demystifying the art buying process for all involved. Creating a direct link between artists and buyers, art industry experts hand-pick a top notch lineup of emerging talent to showcase to visitors across four days. Now in its second year, the Fair returns to Sydney in October to bring a fresh selection of contemporary works to art lovers, critics and collectors.

And in 2016, the Fair promises an entirely new vision led by the new soon-to-be-announced International Fair Director. Plus, the Selection Committee director is none other than Tracey Emin — yep, the Tracey Emin. After the overwhelming success of last year's debut, the fair is currently on the hunt for a new crop of emerging artists to get involved.

Think you might be the next big thing? Head to theotherartfair.com.au/applications and enter before submissions close Monday, July 11. For further information, contact Fair Manager, Zoe Edema ([email protected]).
