Following great success in Sydney, The Other Art Fair will launch in Melbourne in May 2017

Following two successful editions in Sydney, Australia’s leading art fair for emerging artists, The Other Art Fair, will launch in Melbourne for a four-day presentation from Thursday 4 May until Sunday 7 May 2017, connecting art lovers directly with unrepresented and emerging artists selling their works.

Presented by Saatchi Art, the inaugural Melbourne 2017 edition of The Other Art Fair is set to build momentum following the highly successful events held in Sydney in 2015 and 2016, each of which attracted more than 10,000 visitors over four days. Led by Australian Fair Director Zoe Paulsen, The Other Art Fair will present over 100 of Australia’s most talented emerging artists, each chosen by a high profile selection committee of contemporary art experts: Patricia Piccinini (Artist), Lisa Fehily (Director of Mossgreen Gallery), Kathy Temin (Artist), Dr Terry Wu (Plastic Surgeon & Art Patron) and Annika Kristensen (Senior Curator at Australian Centre for Contemporary Art).
