This is my final year at the MCAD Art Sale. I will be there during the new Thursday Preview Party (where you can get first dibs on my work) as well as Friday night.

Art Sale: the weekend before Thanksgiving
Now in its 13th year, the MCAD Art Sale is a Minnesota tradition annually held the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Eye-catching, one-of-a-kind art created by MCAD students and recent graduates at unbeatable prices. Thousands of pieces. Every piece less than $1000. Average price less than $100.
Since its inception the sale has generated more than $1,000,000 for emerging artists. All Art Sale proceeds go to support individual artists or the MCAD Art Sale Scholarship Fund.
