SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Other Art Fair, a leading artist fair for discovering emerging artists, is set to host its Fall Chicago edition September 30-October 3, 2021, at Revel Fulton Market. The Other Art Fair will host 120 independent and emerging artists, each handpicked by a committee of art world experts. Visitors can connect with artists in-person and explore thousands of original artworks across various media—including painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, and more—in a range of prices from $100 to $10,000. Based in Chicago’s old meatpacking district in one of the city’s hottest neighborhoods for food and nightlife, Revel Fulton Market provides an open modern space for artists to exhibit their work.
The Other Art Fair will showcase the Chicago winners of the New Futures award presented by Colossal, Andrea Coleman, Ashley Bradley, Tianna Bracey and Francine Almeda, who will present their artworks for the first time at an art fair. Launched in 2021, New Futures is an initiative developed to champion talented local artists at the start of their careers by awarding them exhibition space, peer-to-peer mentoring, and one-on-one advisory services with members of The Other Art Fair’s team. As part of its ongoing mission to support and create opportunities for emerging artists, The Other Art Fair seeks to nurture promising and underrepresented artists from the local art community.
“We’re thrilled to be returning to Chicago at a new venue and neighborhood with an exciting lineup of programming and features inspired by the city,” said Ryan Stanier, founder of The Other Art Fair. “The Chicago art scene is bustling with exceptional talent and inspiring works. We’re proud to be welcoming back past exhibiting artists along with new additions to our fair attendees. Now more than ever I think people are looking for inspiration and community, and following our most recent Los Angeles and Brooklyn editions this past summer, we’ve been able to see firsthand how attendees have embraced the Fair’s return.”
The Other Art Fair remains committed to the safety and wellbeing of its artists and fair attendees and will be executing safety precautions in accordance with local health guidelines to ensure visitors and artists feel comfortable within the fair environment.
