The Other Art Fair

Overview

If your favourite kind of art is the stuff that's contemporary, independent and far from boring, your collection could soon be in for a boost. After a brief hiatus, The Other Art Fair is taking over Port Melbourne's The Timber Yard from Thursday, January 30–Sunday, February 2, delivering a dynamic curation of artwork, plus installations, performances, workshops and more.

A far cry from the pretentious art fairs of old, Saatchi Art's touring event will this year showcase works from over 100 contemporary artists, with the supporting program covering everything from live tattooing to immersive art installations — this year's is a huge rave cave.

You'll catch eye-opening pieces from established and emerging Aussie talent, including Steve Leadbeater, Katherine Gailer, Simone Thomson and others.

And if you fancy browsing artworks with a drink in hand, you can drop by the bar for wine, beer and spirits. There'll be an array of food stalls to choose from throughout the four-day art fest.
