Presented by Saatchi Art, The Other Art Fair is a leading art fair for discovering emerging artists, with editions in cities around the world, including London, Bristol, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Sydney, and Melbourne. Unlike at traditional art fairs where attendees buy from galleries, The Other Art Fair offers attendees unparalleled direct access to artists, alongside experiential programming, appealing to first-time art buyers and seasoned collectors alike.
We are looking for an Events Intern to help us organize the next Los Angeles and Dallas editions of The Other Art Fair from our Los Angeles office in Santa Monica. Intern will work closely with our artists, operations team, and partners. The role is varied and exciting, providing valuable experience for anyone interested in creative events and the contemporary art world.
Leaf Group, The Other Art Fair’s holding company, is a house of brands that builds platforms to enable communities of creators to reach dedicated audiences in the ever-growing lifestyle categories.
A big vision calls for a big job. As we grow, our need for a dedicated Events Intern grows with us.
