Ryan Stanier. On Reimagining the Art Fair

Episode Summary:

Today we meet the founder of The Other Art Fair, Ryan Stanier. We talk to him about the inception of his unique platform and his vision on the future of virtual and in-person art fairs in post-pandemic times. Ryan’s deliberate, still deeply intuitiveapproach of looking for 'the next big thing' is present in everythinghe does. He advocates for breaking the walls of the art market and for community engagement, meanwhile giving visibility to independent and emerging artists - a central part of the concept of his new age art fair. Held globally in various cities including LA, London, Syndney, New York, Melbourne and others, The Other Art Fair is an inspiring venture showcasing new talent in disruptive ways, allowing the culture lover to enjoy art differently.

The Speaker:

Ryan Stanier is a British entrepreneur that started The Other Art Fair in 2011, after launching London's Artbeat in 2010, a commercial gallery space for emerging artists. Since then the fair has worked with over 3,000 artists from across 20 countries. In response to COVID-19, Stanier launched a new platform The Other Art Fair Online Studios with their partner Saatchi Art, showcasing all the exhibitors who were originally going to be featured in the spring fairs.
