The time has come! Join us in the last week of February to immerse yourself in our annual celebration of black artistry at NYU with The Collective. Embrace the spirit of creativity, resilience, and cultural pride at the Black Arts Festival, where the convergence of art, culture, and community fosters an environment of celebration and empowerment. The festival is an incredibly unique time where you can submit to attend events that showcase the width of Black creativity through all the different mediums.

The festival will consist of a Visual Arts Gallery, Dance Night, Open Mic Night, experienced guest speakers, our Short Film Festival, and of course, Playfest! We are currently looking for bright creatives of different disciplines to submit to these events by January 26th 2023. More information on locations will be provided, along with individual RSVP forms.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the vibrancy and innovation of black artistry in all its forms at NYU! Stay tuned for more information on locations and deadlines, along with individual RSVP forms for those interested in attending the shows.

If you’re interested in applying for any of the mentioned events, please submit your information here.
