UTOPIAN VISIONS ART FAIR

Initiated by Srijon Chowdhury

Utopian Visions Art Fair (UVAF) is a platform for artists, gallerists, and curators to present projects that are speculative and working towards possible futures.

Art fairs allow transparency for conversations around the art world’s reliance on capitalist systems—how do we free art from a system that both gives art its value but also makes it powerless? These are the types of dialogues that UVAF will explore, while presenting dozens of artists projects in an intimate setting.

UVAF is a project that centers accessibility and community at its heart—all are encouraged to attend, think, and learn together.
