The UNM-Taos Holiday Student Art Sale is a chance to find one-of-a-kind visual and decorative arts at incredible prices. And remember: students are both emerging talents as well as established professional artists.
It’s a twice-a-year opportunity to bring more beauty into your world, affordably. (The next show is in the spring.) Plus, you'll be encouraging UNM-Taos art students in their work. It’s a great way to support the arts community in Northern New Mexico.
The Holiday Art Sale is a rare chance to find emerging artists before they are discovered by galleries. As highlighted in CollegeArtOnline.com, student art sales give "art enthusiasts the chance to buy an original piece of art and collect works” from up-and-coming artists. Student art sales are “where student art becomes fine art."
Even Picasso was an art student once. And who knows; you might find a piece by the next Agnes Martin or Larry Bell!
As an added bonus, concurrent with the Art Sale is the opening of a show of prints and paintings by new Arts Academy professor Jeremy McDonnell.For more details, please call UNM-Taos Arts Academy Program Coordinator Sabra Sowell at (575) 737-6256.
