The Other Art Fair Spring 2023
This global art fair returns to Sydney for four days with with exciting emerging artists, a mind-reading robot and a pop-up tattoo parlour.
Overview
Art enthusiasts, collectors and creators, we have news for you. The Other Art Fair is returning to Sydney this October for its second stop in the Harbour City for 2023. From Thursday, October 12–Sunday, October 15, you'll find the Fair in the sandstone expanse of The Cutaway at Barangaroo. This supersized concrete void of a venue boasts immense ceiling height, acoustics and ample natural light — perfect for an event with this much colour and popularity.
If you aren't already in the know, The Other Art Fair is a roaming international art show that allows you to view, discuss and purchase art directly from an emerging artist, rather than deal with the red tape and hurdles of buying through a gallery or agencies. It's not only a good thing for those who appreciate and collect art, but it's also a great set up for artists who are yet to land representation or have the means to market their work to a broader audience.
The Fair boasts an extensive roster of 130 artistic talents across multiple mediums — each selected by a committee of experts so you'll be purchasing quality work and supporting the local creative scene. And there's more than just the artwork — there'll be immersive installations, performances, DJs and a fully stocked bar.
Some of the highlights you can expect at October's edition include a create-your-own animation station with cartoonist John Paine, a futuristic mind-reading robot locked in an indestructible cube and a pop-up tattoo parlour from Nah Mate Pokes and Ink Sphinx.
Opening night tickets are available now for $35 before they go up to $40 on the door. If you head along to the first night, you'll be treated to free entry for the rest of the weekend.
If you're just keen to attend between Friday–Sunday, you can score a $9 discount and purchase a $21 ticket in advance, or pay $30 on the door throughout the weekend.
