SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Other Art Fair, a global art event dedicated to showcasing independent artists, is set to host its tenth Brooklyn edition on November 3-6, 2022 at a new venue, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Agger Fish Building. This will be The Other Art Fair’s first edition at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, an iconic, one-of-a-kind complex located in the newly refurbished Navy Yard district. Nestled in the middle of Dumbo, Williamsburg, and downtown Brooklyn, and accessible by most train lines and by ferry, the Other Art Fair Brooklyn will be more connected and accessible than ever.
Presented by Saatchi Art and in partnership with BOMBAY SAPPHIRE®, The Other Art Fair Brooklyn will host 120+ independent and emerging artists from across the globe and local to NYC – each hand-picked by a committee of local art world experts. Visitors can meet artists in person and discover thousands of original artworks and limited-edition prints across various media – including painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and more – priced from $100 to $10,000.
Throughout the Fair weekend, the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE bar will serve complimentary gin cocktails and fair attendees can look forward to refreshing twists on the quintessentially classic Gin & Tonic created by the experts at BOMBAY SAPPHIRE.
“As we move into a second decade of hosting Fairs, I am proud of the work we’ve done, the success our exhibiting artists have achieved, and our substantial growth into new markets both in the U.S. and internationally,” said Ryan Stanier, founder of The Other Art Fair. “We’ve always aimed to create a welcoming, non-intimidating environment for both new and seasoned art collectors, and over the past decade we’ve continued to deliver on that promise.”
Alongside the 1,000+ artworks, Fair visitors can discover immersive and experiential activations such as Light Baths by Jarid Blue [KingMallard] and nail ART by Eve de Haan’s, often known by her Instagram handle @halfaroastchicken, which includes her renowned neon artworks and free nail art for attendees. Fairgoers can also enjoy live DJ sets, local food trucks, and more.
The Other Art Fair is supported by New Futures Community Partners Industry City, a creative campus located in Brooklyn, and its art initiative The Collision Project. Jurors Haoran Chen, Manager, Digital Marketing & Creative at Industry City, and Vittoria Benzine, Brooklyn-based art writer and personal essayist, hand-selected the three Brooklyn-based Fall 2022 New Futures Recipients, who will be presented in partnership with BOMBAY SAPPHIRE® as part of the exhibitor line-up. Formalized in 2021 as part of The Other Art Fair’s ongoing mission to break down traditional barriers of the contemporary art world, New Futures is designed to launch the careers of talented emerging artists by awarding local artists mentoring and free exhibition space onsite at the Fair. BOMBAY SAPPHIRE’s support provides additional amplification to the winners as part of a shared pursuit to nurture and create opportunities for emerging artists. The Other Art Fair is currently accepting applications from local artists for its remaining 2022 editions.
