MacLean Ballroom floor filled with tables, artists, artwork, students, friends, and family
In between the whirlwind of senior shows and festivals, students at the Art Institute of Chicago put their schooling to practice by selling their artwork at the Spring 2025 Art Sale. In this annual event, SAIC community members show up for one another bringing family and friends, stopping by to say hello or purchasing that perfect present for that perfect someone.
