Descend Into the Bunker at June Art Fair, Where Cool Alternative Vibes Abound
Less than 200 meters (or about 650 feet) away from Art Basel is the June Art Fair, an alternative, intergenerational, independent platform that is nestled in a concrete bunker. Founded in 2019 by dealers Esperanza Rosales (of the VI, VII in Oslo) and Christian Andersen (of his namesake space in Copenhagen), the fair, which runs through June 16, aims to revive the magic the two felt when they first participated in Liste, Art Basel’s more established satellite fair.
“The idea emerged from the feeling that we needed to try to do something different to grow as galleries,” Rosales told ARTnews. “We thought, instead of saying that a fair does not work for us, we should try to do something else ourselves.”

Three passionate Lancaster based freelance artists, Hannah Corbett, Lidia Ranns, and Julie Evans, are uniting their creative forces to transform the city into a vibrant hub of artistic expression with the expanded Lancaster Art Fair (LAF), running from August 19th to 23rd, 2025.
This year, LAF is evolving into a larger, city wide festival, thanks to their dedicated collaboration and partnerships with established local arts organisations.

On the plane back from Miami, I add up expenses versus income from this year’s Untitled Art Fair. It is our third year here, and our first bust. As a small Midwestern gallery, two major art fairs a year — Untitled in Miami and the Outsider Art Fair in New York — can generate a quarter of our annual income. Even more importantly, they help us develop a national collector base for regional artists. There is no other way to survive.
It is expensive to participate in more selective and carefully curated international fairs, such as Untitled. Our three-walled, 14 x 14-foot space cost $17,400. Housing for the staff, transportation, food, and additional framing rounded out the total to about $30,000.
