S.U.D.S is a student art fair organized by Other Content and Art Business Society which was created to serve as a platform for emerging BFA and MFA artists and makers at NYU, nurturing a sense of unity and discovery among artists and art enthusiasts alike. In a world increasingly dominated by transactional networks and impersonal interactions, this fair aims to build a space that champions community, creativity, and genuine connection.
Just as bubbles float freely and gather to form lively clusters, the S.U.D.S. Art Fair invites individuals to come together, share ideas, and support one another’s artistic journeys. Participating student artists may choose to sell their work at the fair, or simply exhibit, with all sales taking place directly between artist and buyer. This year’s fair will feature six student artists with individual booths, alongside five to six additional artists presenting individual works as part of a curated wall.
The art fair is open to current Barney (Steinhardt art and art professions) students and faculty. The opening reception is open to all, welcoming friends, collectors, and members of the broader NYU and New York art communities to celebrate and engage with the artists and their work.
