The Other Art Fair returns to Melbourne in 2026.
Not your typical art fair. A platform for independent artists at all stages of their careers, The Other Art Fair is where boundary-pushing creativity meets thousands of art lovers, collectors and curious first-time buyers, and we want you to join us at The Timber Yard this Jan 29 – Feb 1!
Whether you’re just starting out, or you’re looking for ways to break into new markets and grow your collector base, this is your chance to exhibit, sell your work and connect directly with a new audience. Join our global artist community, and take control of your art career.
Applying for the Fair
We welcome applications from artists working in any medium, across all career stages. Open to artists from all over Australia, and beyond. You don’t need gallery representation to be selected. We value originality, bold ideas, and a strong sense of creative identity.
Applications are free, and can be submitted online with 4 images of your work. Successful applicants will be notified via email. Booth fees only apply if your application is successful.
Applications close October 10, 2025. Apply now.
For extra support, or any questions about the process, reach out the Fair Manager Maya at maya@theotherartfair.com
