SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Other Art Fair, a leading artist fair for discovering emerging artists, will introduce its next Virtual Edition Fair, The Other Art Fair Brooklyn, on May 11-16. This Brooklyn edition of The Other Art Fair’s virtual reality fair series will feature more than 80 local and international emerging artists, along with compelling content from New York-based creatives and arts organizations. Visitors will be able to connect directly with exhibiting artists through the ‘Chat with An Artist’ feature accessible at each artist booth. Attendees can book a live ten minute video call with the artist to learn more about the artist’s process and inquire about a specific artwork.

Following the Virtual Edition Fair, The Other Art Fair Brooklyn is set to return with an in-person art fair July 22-25, at the Brooklyn Expo Center.

The Other Art Fair Brooklyn, Virtual Edition will also feature the most recent winners of The Other Art Fair’s  award -- ,  and . Launched in 2021,  is an initiative developed to champion the works of up-and-coming and underrepresented artists from the local art community. These three New York-based creatives represent the next generation of emerging artists showing great promise at the beginning of their careers.

The Other Art Fair Brooklyn, Virtual Edition is partnering with , an organization and community arts center that provides opportunities for artists to develop and express themselves through inclusive, innovative and accessible approaches to traditional and new media. The Brooklyn Virtual Edition will feature the works of five abstract artists and members of ArTech Collective -- Maria Alcantara, Wayne Anderson, Elvin Flores, Oswald James and Rayed Mohammad -- who explore different techniques in art to communicate their perceptions of the world. Based in the Bronx, the studio is an extension of AHRC NYC’s mission to find ways for children and adults with intellectual and other developmental disabilities to live their lives to their fullest potential.

“As we continue to see increased interest from both our visitors and exhibiting artists, Brooklyn’s Virtual Edition Fair will showcase some exciting new talent, embracing the unique personality of the city,” said Ryan Stanier, founder of The Other Art Fair. “Brooklyn was the location of our first U.S. fair back in 2017, so we feel a special connection to the borough and the talented creatives we’ve come to work with year after year. We’re also looking forward to our return to the Brooklyn Expo Center for an in-person Fair scheduled later this summer.”

The Other Art Fair Brooklyn, Virtual Edition runs from May 11-16, and features will include artist workshops, fair director-led tours, special exhibitions, curator talks and more.

Some highlights from The Other Art Fair Brooklyn, Virtual Edition’s programming include:

●      ArTech Collective: special exhibition featuring five abstract artists and members of ArTech Collective -- Maria Alcantara, Wayne Anderson, Elvin Flores, Oswald James and Rayed Mohammad -- who explore different techniques in art to communicate their perceptions of the world.

●      GIPHY Arts: presents its short films Spring Showcase. Similar to an animated short, each GIF-length film tells a story through an experimental or narrative lens in under 30 seconds flat and has been adapted from its native Clips format on GIPHY to create a one-of-a-kind viewing experience.

●      BOMBAY SAPPHIRE®️ 60 Seconds Of Creativity: The Other Art Fair is challenging three artists to make a custom artwork in 60 seconds -- the time it takes to make a Bombay & Tonic. Artists Amber Vittoria, Luis Martin and Kendra Dandy will all create a piece of art in the same time it takes a BOMBAY SAPPHIRE bartender to make the perfect cocktail. Inside the Brooklyn Virtual Edition, visitors will be able to view the unique ‘60 Second Artworks’ and watch special Behind-the-Scenes videos featuring Bombay Sapphire's national bartender Ryan K. Wainwright. Visitors will also be able to express their creativity from home with three Bombay & Tonic Twist recipes created by the experts at BOMBAY SAPPHIRE.

●      Invest in Art with Saatchi Art: Saatchi Art’s Curator Monty Preston will walk visitors through what to look for when investing in emerging artists, and highlight some of her favorites from the Brooklyn Virtual Edition Fair.
