The annual MCAD Art Sale is the nation’s largest college art sale and it’s one of the most anticipated events in the Twin Cities. It’s your chance to mingle, peruse, and buy one-of-a-kind creations from Minneapolis College of Art and Design artists who are creating not only what’s new, but what’s next.

Thousands of affordable artworks will be available in a wide range of mediums—including paintings, prints, photographs, sculpture, furniture, clothing, jewelry, accessories, and more.

How does it work? The MCAD Art Sale charges admission on Thursday, November 20th and Friday, November 21st, while Saturday, November 22nd admission is free! On Saturday there will also be kids activities hosted by the Continuing Education Team at MCAD. Please note that the MCAD Art Sale is a cash free event, so plan accordingly.

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.
