SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Other Art Fair, a leading artist fair for discovering emerging artists, is set to host its first U.S. in-person fair of the year with the Los Angeles edition June 24-27, 2021, at ROW DTLA. The Other Art Fair will host 75 independent and emerging artists, each handpicked by a committee of art world experts. Visitors will be able to connect with artists in-person and explore thousands of original artworks across various media—including painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and more—in a range of prices from $100 to $10,000. Additionally, ROW DTLA tenants will invite select artists to showcase works within their retail stores, and some will offer special promotions to The Other Art Fair attendees.
The Other Art Fair will also showcase the Los Angeles winners of the New Futures awards, Jessica Carranza and Ricardo Cobian, who will be presenting their artworks for the first time at an art fair. Launched in 2021, New Futures is an initiative developed to champion talented local artists at the start of their careers by awarding them exhibition space, peer-to-peer mentoring, and one-on-one mentorship with members of The Other Art Fair’s team. As part of its ongoing mission to support and create opportunities for emerging artists, The Other Art Fair seeks to nurture promising and underrepresented artists from the local art community.
“We are ready to welcome back artists and fair visitors to our Los Angeles edition as the first LA art fair since California’s reopening, with a new venue and format that will be unlike anything we’ve ever done before,” said Ryan Stanier, founder of The Other Art Fair. “Visitors can expect an exploratory experience with multiple curated rooms to discover and meet independent artists in a safe and welcoming environment.”
The Other Art Fair remains committed to the safety and wellbeing of its artists and fair attendees and will be executing safety precautions in accordance with local health guidelines to ensure visitors and artists feel comfortable within the fair environment. This will include a timed-entry ticketing system to limit capacity; increased aisle width to allow for social distancing; a facial covering requirement for all exhibitors, visitors, and staff; freely available hand-sanitizer; increased cleanliness protocols; and cash-free payments.
