raw art sale


my first event at mica as the arts & education program manager in student activities. not that i had to do much... the raw art sale is something that pretty much runs itself. it's a really cool opportunity for students to get rid of art & make money. a lot of students took advantage of it this time around. there was so much art to display this morning! & not just prints, which typically dominate, but jewelery, embroidered purses, screenprinted shirts, hand made journals and zines, photography, and some drawings. i found a sweet letterpress orange alphabet for $1 (what a steal!) & set it aside in the back room for when the parents dropped by. which was a good idea. as soon as 10 am rolled around the parents swooped in, grabbing whatever they could find and making off like bandits with stacks and stacks of art. it should be interesting to see what's left for tomorrow!
