SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Other Art Fair, an international art event dedicated to showcasing independent artists, is set to host its next Dallas edition on May 12-15, 2022, at Dallas Market Hall. Presented by Saatchi Art and in partnership with BOMBAY SAPPHIRE®, The Other Art Fair Dallas will host 130 independent and emerging artists alongside Guest Artist Anna Marie Tendler. 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.
Following the success of Anna Marie Tendler’s art fair debut last fall and the sold-out portrait sessions from her Los Angeles residency this March, The Other Art Fair will welcome her to Dallas for the first time, where she will showcase works from her “Rooms in the First House” photography series, as well as offer visitors the exclusive opportunity to have their own portraits taken by Tendler herself. Tendler said, “I am beyond thrilled to be returning to The Other Art Fair in multiple cities this spring. I will bring with me previously unavailable framed works, prints, and posters, as well as an exciting interactive element that I hope guests will love.”
The Fair’s 130 exhibiting artists were hand-picked by a committee of art world experts, including Dallas’ own Dr. Lauren Cross, an artist, curator, and scholar; Jordan Roth, co-owner and Director of Ro2 Art, in The Cedars; Rebecca Wilson, Chief Curator and VP, Art Advisory at Saatchi Art; and the Fair’s director, Nicole Garton. Selected artists hail from around the world, including 8 countries and 25 U.S. states, with just over a third based in the North Texas region.
As part of its exhibitor line-up, The Other Art Fair will also introduce three Dallas-based recipients of its Spring 2022 New Futures award. 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. This year, New Futures is supported by BOMBAY SAPPHIRE, which will provide additional amplification to the winners as part of a shared pursuit to nurture and create opportunities for emerging artists. For the Dallas edition, The Other Art Fair is proud to also partner with the South Dallas Cultural Center in nominating and awarding recipients.
“As we celebrate our ten-year anniversary, 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. “Our Dallas edition has expanded quickly and we are incredibly grateful for the support the local collecting community has shown to our artists. This year, for the first time, we’ll be hosting both a spring and a fall edition in Dallas, and we look forward to introducing new and exciting features to keep our visitors on their toes.”
