“The Show + Sales are the largest community-building events that the Students’ Association offers. It’s a special opportunity for our student artists to share their work with the larger Calgary community and build relationships with the local creative industry and private patrons alike,” said Joel Farris, Career Development Coordinator with ACADSA, in a statement. “Each Show + Sale has a tremendous sense of creativity and camaraderie as students from every department within the school come together to collaborate and support one another. With over 200 students showcasing their work in the Spring 2017 Show + Sale, we anticipate this to be one of the most successful celebrations of student talent we’ve ever hosted.”
The sale kicks off with a First Night Fundraiser from 5:00 to 8:00pm on March 23. A great chance to get a jump on the sale, admission is $25 and attendees receive advance access to a wide variety of original artwork and the opportunity meet the artists.
