STUDENTS COLLABORATING ACROSS DISCIPLINES

SADA students have had many opportunities to collaborate across disciplines within the last year. They partnered with Cinematic Arts students to draw scenes and props for their short films and worked on the SAPC Advertising team to create graphics to go along with their campaigns. Graphic design students also collaborated to create environmental wall graphics that are displayed throughout the School of Communication & the Arts. Studio artists have had their work displayed in the Jerry Falwell Library and in the Human Resources office during this academic year.

Marketplace

In October 2022, SADA launched the SADA Marketplace — a space where students can gain real-world experience selling work in a wide variety of media.

Traditional studio art, reproduction prints, printmaking, photography, sculptures, ceramics, textiles, and products may be showcased and sold to the community throughout the semester. Through the SADA Marketplace events, students learn how to package, brand, and price their work as well as how to conduct themselves professionally in a storefront setting.

Student Isabella Kosiba has sold work at several SADA Marketplace events.

“Participating in the SADA Marketplace has been a wonderful opportunity to grow as an artist and connect with other students and faculty,” Kosiba said. “It has sparked more creativity in my work, each sale causing me to be excited to create more for the next one. As a student, it’s the perfect environment to begin selling your work.”
