Ailis Brennan21 March 2018

The Other Art Fair is back in the capital this week, giving Londoners the chance to buy art from the rising stars of the art world.

Running in partnership with Saatchi Art, this globally popular art fair combines considerable kudos with the aim of nurturing emerging talent.

From March 22-25, visitors to The Other Art Fair can buy directly from any of the 120 contemporary artists at the fair – this means cutting out the gallery as a rather expensive middle man.

The programme also includes an array of exciting arty events, including talks, workshops immersive experiences and activities with a social conscience.

Art on a Postcard will display works by renowned artists – including Paula Rego, Billy Childish and 2017 Turner Prize winner Lubaina Himid – who have created postcard sized pieces which will be auctioned live on the final day.

Fair-goers can step into installations from colour-conscious graphic artist and Fei Alexeli, who will turn part of the fair into a live neon jazz bar serving “No Bad Days” cocktails, and the really adventurous can get a feminist handpoke tattoo from Brooklyn-based feminist artist Bluestone Babe.

For those who want their pennies to do even more good, The Big Issue will be showcasing artworks by street vendors and artists who work with the organisation, with funds from the sale of each work split between the artist and the charity.

The Other Art Fair runs from March 22-25 2018 at Victoria House. For more information visit theotherartfair.com
