Connect with great MCAD art and artists at our can't-miss event: the MCAD Annual Art Sale! The 2008 extravaganza takes place on Friday, Nov. 21, and Saturday, Nov. 22 on the first and second floors of MCAD's Main Building.
Each year, we open our doors to thousands of serious art patrons and creative, curious shoppers from across the Twin Cities and all over the Midwest, offering the opportunity to choose from thousands of works by our gifted students and recent alumni over the course of two fun, fast-paced days.
From paintings, prints and photographs to sculpture, furniture, toys, clothing, jewelry, accessories and more, each purchase directly supports the up-and-coming artist who created the work.
The MCAD Annual Art Sale has gained a tremendous reputation as the metro's top destination for affordable, appreciable artwork by leading-edge artists who are creating not only what's new, but also what's next, with praise and exposure pouring in from the Star Tribune, Mpls.St.Paul, Minnesota Monthly, METRO, City Pages and KARE 11. Check out what they're saying about the sale.
Our 10th anniversary event in 2007 offered more than 10,000 works by 400 artists. Be sure to join us for both days of the sale!
