“Brooklyn lends an inspiring and creative energy
to the fair,” said Ryan Stanier, founder of The Other Art Fair. “As
our very first U.S. city to host The Other Art Fair, Brooklyn
continues to introduce new promising, emerging artists. As we
continue to grow and push boundaries for our programming, our team
is inspired to debut new and exciting experiences for our visitors
like the ‘Get Nude, Get Drawn’ project.”

workshops to The Other Art Fair Brooklyn,” says BOMBAY SAPPHIRE

for a 30-minute drawing session with 8 notable artists including
Perry and Cochran who will create as many portraits as possible
within that time frame. The models will then be presented with one
of their portraits and the remaining will be sold at The Fair.
