The Other Art Fair Los Angeles Returns Featuring 140 Artists

The ninth Los Angeles edition of The Other Art Fair has arrived, and it's bigger and better than ever before! The event, which is dedicated to showcasing independent artists from around the world, is taking place from March 30 to April 2, 2023, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. Presented by Saatchi Art, The Other Art Fair features 140 independent and emerging artists, as well as a range of exciting features and installations.

One of the highlights of this edition of The Other Art Fair is the Guest Artist, ANGELYNE. ANGELYNE is a beloved blonde icon who is best known for her signature pink Corvette, self-promoting billboards, and pneumatic curves. She will be presenting a selection of artworks for sale, including four limited edition prints priced at $100, created exclusively for the Fair. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet ANGELYNE in person and experience the quintessential ANGELYNE experience, which is sure to bring them good luck.

In addition to ANGELYNE's exhibition, there will be thousands of original artworks on display across various media, including painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, fiber arts, ceramics, and more. Prices start at just $100, making it accessible to art enthusiasts of all budgets. The Fair also offers various curated exhibitions, highlighting works priced under $500, as well as a tour and text message-based recommendations from Saatchi Art's curators, making it easier for visitors to discover new artwork and make informed acquisitions.

The Fair's exhibitor line-up features 140 artists, juried by a rotating committee of art world experts, ensuring a fresh selection of artwork on view. This edition's committee includes curator Taylor Bythewood-Porter, Erin Remington, Manager, Art Advisory & Curation at Saatchi Art, artist Rodrigo Valenzuela, Associate Professor in the Department of Art at UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture, and the Fair's Director, Nicole Garton. Selected artists hail from around the world, including 16 countries, 11 U.S. States, and Puerto Rico, with nearly half based in the Southern California region.

The Other Art Fair is also proud to introduce the three Los Angeles-based recipients of its Spring 2023 New Futures award: Solène Biche, Alexander Helmintoller, and Emiliana Henriquez. This award is designed to launch the careers of talented emerging artists by awarding local artists mentoring and free exhibition space onsite at the Fair. For this edition, The Other Art Fair has collaborated with L.A. Zine Fest and artist Daisy Noemi in awarding its New Futures recipients. L.A. Zine Fest, a volunteer-run, self-funded event, will also present a zine library and a free drop-in zine-making workshop in the Fair's onsite Residency Space on Saturday, April 1.

The Fair's program features a range of exciting events, installations, and workshops, including the Friday Late Partner, Junior High, which is a non-profit community arts space that prioritizes the safety and expression of female, queer, nonbinary, and artists of color. The pop-up will take place in the Fair's Residency Space on Friday, March 31 from 5-10pm and feature specialty vendors, limited edition merchandise created especially for the Fair, an interactive photobooth, and live DJ sets—all curated by Junior High.

Visitors can also look forward to two all-new immersive art installations, presented by ARIYA, offering visitors the chance to explore an origami-inspired forest crafted by artist TADAOCERN and take a seat inside the ARIYA all-electric vehicle for an AI emotion-reading experience.
