San Pedro, CA – September 27, 2025 – The seventh Other Places art fair (OPaf), a highly anticipated annual community contemporary art festival, will take place at Angels Gate Cultural Center (3601 S. Gaffey St, San Pedro 90731) on September 27, 2025, from 11 AM to 6 PM. This free, annual event is open to the public and has supported unconventional and underrepresented artists, art project spaces, and art programming since its founding in 2017. OPaf 7 features over thirty booths featuring over 100 participating local, national, and international contemporary artists gathering in and around Battery Leary-Merriam, a decommissioned Army battery on the grounds of Angels Gate Cultural Center. Operating outside traditional art systems, Other Places art fair provides a platform for artists of all backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses, creating an inclusive, outdoor space for artistic projects united by the intention to exist in alternative settings free of commercial boundaries.

In addition to booths, OPaf 7 will feature performances, readings, and talks, and the return of the OPaf Workshop Tent – an educational community art workshop area and vibrant hub for community engagement offering a range of interactive workshops and creative activities. Attendees can also learn how to screenprint with the PrintShop LA, who will be printing exclusive OPaf merch all day. Debuting at this year’s event is the Diva Corp Reading Room, featuring a collection of art texts curated by the anonymous critic Diva Corp published by Other Places’s STAR150Press, alongside furniture and artwork by Kevin Reinhart. Other Places is committed to providing a public exhibition space for hundreds of diverse artists and thousands of attendees, with a focus on equality and community. Other Places art fair strives to create a community-driven, culturally relevant annual art festival welcoming people from all backgrounds. Other Places art fair has been featured in Art Forum, LA Weekly, KCRW, and Hyperallergic, demonstrating its impact on the art community. Join Other Places art fair for a day of inspiring art, engaging workshops, and meaningful connections.
