Buy Art. Smile. Repeat. 
You've been waiting all year for this, so get it on your calendar early! The MCAD Art Sale is the Twin Cities creative celebration. Thousands of people come together on campus to hunt for one-of-a-kind artwork by students and alumni. Will we see you there? Whether you're adding to (or starting) your own collection, shopping for the holidays, or just looking forward to a fun weekend browsing with friends, there's something for everyone.
Celebrating MCAD students, alumni, and the wider community, the Art Sale is a tradition that has generated millions of dollars for emerging artists. Following a commitment to supporting students and alumni, 80% of all sales go directly to the artist.
Tickets are currently available! Mark your calendar, we can't wait for you to discover incredible MCAD artists. Reach out to artsale@mcad.edu with any questions.
