The Other Art Fair
Get ready to raise a glass to curious encounters and immerse yourself in a colourful world of art, because The Other Art Fair is landing back in Sydney from May 8–11, and it’s once again taking over the cavernous White Bay Cruise Terminal in Balmain.
Cast aside your preconceptions – this global event is a place where barriers are broken and the usual art-world rules don’t apply. You have the chance to connect with more than 100 independent artists; get hands-on with immersive installations; witness unexpected performances; and discover artwork that makes you stop, think, and maybe even laugh out loud.
With live DJs on the decks and a buzzing bar serving up refreshments, you can also expect the return of fair favourites like live Art Battles and fine line tattoos from local stick-and-poke artists – and yes, that ink is permanent, we have road tested getting tattooed at the fair (refer to the video below).

This time around, you can also take a chance on a Blind Date With An Artwork (for $200) and check out James Patrick’s Art Vending Machine filled with one-of-a-kind, entirely human-made miniature artworks. The May fair is also all fired up for The Ceramics Edit, which puts the incredible work of Australian ceramicists in the spotlight. And the matriarchs haven’t been forgotten either, on Sunday (May 11) the fair becomes “The Mother Art Fair” – a special Mother’s Day...
