Get your wallets out and support up-and-coming artists. The art featured below is available to college kids who love to decorate their walls and revel in the world of all things hip and trendy.

Students from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan were part of the hundreds of artists displayed and whose art was for sale at this year’s Affordable Art Fair. The fair also featured recent graduates from colleges and universities from around the New York area. These terrific artists were chosen based on their final art projects or for their amazing thesis work.

So get out there and buy some interesting art! All art at this event was under $10,000, which may seem overpriced, but there was plenty of art that was well within your monetary budget. Keep your eyes open for up-and-coming artists whose artwork is fresh and affordable.
