Deets: The Other Art Fair returns to Barker Hangar for 16th Los Angeles edition, featuring artist-designed mini golf and a site-specific Installation on “loan” from The British Museum.

This edition of the fair showcases 160 independent artists, with 63% women-identifying and 46% Los Angeles-based exhibitors representing 14 countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Finland, Germany, Greece, India, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The growing roster continues to advance the fair's mission of accessibility and connecting emerging and independent talent directly with collectors.

New to this edition, The Other Art Fair Los Angeles invites visitors to play three one-of-a-kind golf holes at The Other Open: Artist-Designed Mini Golf, part sculpture, part installation, and fully playable. Three female artists are designing unique courses: local artist Suze Riley, Isabel Arenda, and Heather Bellino all bring their creativity to this interactive installation.

Alongside the artist-designed mini-golf will be a site-specific installation by Adam Rose and Richard Hoffman, TP Catalog — On Loan from The British Museum, a fully hand-painted restroom installation featuring a row of gold-framed toilet-paper transfers, each depicting an artifact that may itself have been acquired by The British Museum. The images are paired with text drawn from the objects’ own museum database entries, and a continuous video documenting the British Museum heist plays on loop, visible through viewing holes cut into the stall walls.

Guests can grab a drink at the Fair Bar (Thursday to Sunday), offering cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages.

Four food trucks will be available on site:

  • Thai Mex Cocina (Thursday to Sunday)

  • Cali Craving (Thursday to Sunday), serving smash burgers and fries with vegetarian options

  • LA LA Lasagna (Thursday to Saturday), with vegan and vegetarian options available

  • Yalla Truck (Sunday only), serving traditional Palestinian-style falafel

  • mu.sō Espresso Bar on Wheels (Saturday and Sunday) offers coffee and matcha from a custom-built setup in a vintage BMW E30

Spend the day exploring hundreds of works, chatting with the artists behind them, and experiencing everything the Fair has to offer.

Hint for the Average Socialite: Tickets are on sale now.
