The Other Art Fair is the place to find original artwork for your home. Each year the event puts incredible artists centre stage and lets you get up close and personal with the artists themselves, finding out more about their fantastic work and offering the opportunity to purchase a piece of their affordable art for your home.
This year it’s a little different, because the world is a little different. If you can’t get down to The Other Art Fair in person - which takes place 1 - 4 July at King’s Cross - then The Other Art Fair is coming to you... virtually, running 6 - 11 July.
The Virtual Edition of The Other Art Fair is a cutting-edge version of the show that allows you to connect with the 100+ artists featured in the in-person fair and browse thousands of affordable artworks - and the best thing is there are no fancy headsets required!
Here are 5 things to know about The Other Art Fair's Virtual Edition.
1. It has one of the best catwalks you will ever witness
You will never experience anything quite like the Digital Catwalk by Bruce Asbestos. The Nottingham-based artist employs experimental 3D modelling and rendering to create a playful digital catwalk that has to be (virtually) seen to be believed, and is one of the highlights of this year’s virtual The Other Art Fair.
2. Over 100 artists are showcasing their work to buy
The Other Art Fair is the only place to see 100+ of the UK’s most exciting emerging artists and their work. Even if you don’t head there IRL, you will be able to interact with the artists virtually and in real time, thanks to the live community chat room.
3. The Virtual Edition is a must visit
If you want to experience a virtual world like no ‘other’ and discover everything you love about The Other Art Fair online, then the Virtual Edition Fair is your chance. You will be able to see the Fair within a three-dimensional virtual environment, giving you more opportunities to discover artworks you love. This is supported by a unique online program of features, you can enjoy art differently through screenings, tours, and interactive digital art experiences. It’s like attending the ‘live’ version but you don’t have to leave your living room.
4. The artwork on show is affordable. It’s your chance to own some great art
The Other Art Fair is all about showcasing up and coming talent from some of the best artists in the UK. The bonus of this is that you once you get to know the artists - through fantastic pre-recorded Room Highlight Tours and speaking to them through the ‘Let’s Chat’ button - you will be given the opportunity to immediately purchase online what you have seen at their own personal stands, all at prices that aren’t eye watering - with easy worldwide shipping included!
