The Other Art Fair New York

Over a hundred independent artists, thousands of artworks, eclectic and interactive experiences. We’re an art fair like no other.

ART RE-FRAMED.

When the art world as you knew it went one way, we went the other. Where elitism is the norm, we dared to deviate. Art isn’t confined to convention or rule, and how you enjoy it shouldn’t be either.

We’ve created something different, and we want you to experience it. We combine affordable and original artworks and 130 independent artists with immersive installations, unique performances, DJs – and a fully stocked bar with food pop-ups.

Here, art is for everyone. So why not do something impulsive, get excited, and revel in the creativity? You belong here.

General admission starts at $18. Don’t miss out — Book your tickets today.

Visit our website www.theotherartfair.com/brooklyn for all the details including the artist lineup, features you can’t miss, and more.

ENJOY ART RESPONSIBLY:

As COVID-19 looks like it isn’t going anywhere in a hurry, we want you to enjoy the Fair environment responsibly. The health and safety of our artists and visitors is key to everyone having a good time, so we’ve put measures in place to ensure an (even more) pleasurable visit.

THE SMALL PRINT

By booking a ticket, you and your guest(s) acknowledge the health and safety measures put in place at the time of attendance of the Fair. Health and safety measures are listed on our website—updated frequently.
