Celebrating its 13th edition in Los Angeles, The Other Art Fair, presented by Saatchi Art, is joining LA Art Week for the first time Feb. 20–23.
Continuing its mission of highlighting emerging and groundbreaking artists, The Other Art Fair will feature 140 independent artists at a new venue located at 2800 Casitas Ave. in the Atwater Village neighborhood of Los Angeles. In support of the artists and arts professionals affected by the Los Angeles fires, the Fair will donate 100% of its Friday late ticket sales and proceeds from a charitable art sale to the L.A. Arts Community Fire Relief Fund.
Subverting the traditional art-buying experience, The Other Art Fair values accessibility and inclusiveness, transparently listing prices and allowing collectors to connect directly with emerging and independent artists. A selection committee of art world experts handpicks the exhibiting artists, allowing attendees to discover the next generation of contemporary artistic talent. This edition’s committee includes artist Bettina Hubby; Dominique Clayton, arts consultant, writer and founder of Dominique Gallery; Herbert Mendoza, assistant director at Mixografia; Erin Remington, director of sales and curation at Saatchi Art; and Nicole Garton, global fair director at The Other Art Fair. Previous fairs have helped to spotlight artists of particular promise, including local artist Jackie Amézquita, who was selected for the Hammer’s 2023 Made in L.A. biennial, where she received the Mohn Public Recognition Award, and is featured at this year’s Frieze Projects in LA.
“Creating opportunities for emerging and independent artists to make a living from their work is at the heart of what we do, and so I’m thrilled that, for the first time, we’re hosting the Fair during Art Week to highlight the role an incubator fair like ours plays in the larger art world ecosystem and to offer a chance for artists without gallery representation to participate in the week’s festivities,” Garton said.
