We’re excited to announce that The Other Art Fair, long recognised as the leading platform for independent artists to sell their work, is returning to Melbourne in 2025, for a summer Fair on Jan 30 – Feb 2 at The Timber Yard.
The Other Art Fair is a space for the creative thinkers, the game changers, and the thrill-seekers! It was created as a platform for independent artists to sell their work and connect with new audiences, without the need for a third party. It’s turned the traditional gallery model on it’s head, so that artists retain more of their sales, and all the buyer’s information, so that they can work on fostering relationships and creating sustainable success in the arts. Today, the Fair sees 8 – 10K in vistors per Fair, and 1 in 4 attendees purchase artwork.
