Overview
There are art fairs – and then there is The Other Art Fair. The celebrated global event returns to Melbourne for the third time this May. From May 2–5, the fair will showcase a lively collection of emerging artists in the stimulating surrounds of The Facility in Kensington.
Presented by Saatchi Art, this year's fair is bigger than ever before. The creative works of more than 120 carefully chosen artists, each selected by a prominent panel of art industry experts, will be up for sale. From the ornate to the inexpensive, The Other Art Fair 2019 offers thousands of artworks starting at as little as $100. Plus, all of the artists will be on-site, so you can chat with them and hear the stories behind your chosen piece.
The vast four-day event is complemented by an eclectic array of art activations, workshops and immersive performances, plus street food and DJ sets.
And good news, art-lovers — we've got a bunch of tickets to The Other Art Fair Melbourne to give away. The massive first prize includes two tickets to the opening night of The Other Art Fair on Thursday, May 2, welcome drinks from 5–6pm and a tour with a Saatchi Art curator. But that's not all — you'll score a limited edition tote, Tania Matilda's original artwork Lounging ($890 value) and $200 to spend on art at the fair, plus a night's accommodation at Ovolo Hotel Laneways, so you can make a weekend of it. Plus, we've got double weekend passes to give away to thirty runners-up, too.
