The International Emerging Artist Fair to Launch Innovative Virtual Reality Programming
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Other Art Fair, a leading artist fair for discovering emerging artists, today announced its 2021 exhibition plans. The 2021 schedule includes plans to re-introduce in-real-life events once it is safe to do so, as well as the launch of corresponding six-day Virtual Reality (VR) editions.
The Other Art Fair remains committed to the safety and wellbeing of its artists and fair attendees and will plan to thoughtfully re-introduce in-real-life fair events, with proper safety protocols implemented onsite, as local restrictions on live events lift. The brand’s innovative VR plans will extend those local experiences to a global online audience, but will also create a standalone new platform for The Other Art Fair’s global network of artists to show their works -- no matter their location -- through live, immersive Virtual Reality programming.
“Through the success of our digital Online Studios in 2020, we’ve seen that art buyers are eager to discover talented new independent artists globally online,” said Ryan Stanier, founder of The Other Art Fair. “With our new, cutting edge Virtual Reality programming, we’ll be able to create even more unique and one-of-a-kind experiences for our global audience that pair with the onsite activations our local fair attendees love and our successful Online Studios platform. We can’t wait to reconnect safely in-person with our artists and art buyers when the time is right, and we are excited to introduce our 2021 lineup of talented independent artists to a worldwide audience.”
