Business Booming in the Ballroom Bazaar

Photos of students selling their art at SAIC’s biannual Art Sale

School of the Art Institute of Chicago students transformed the Maclean ballroom into a market and sold their art work all day at the 24th annual Spring Art Sale on April 10. SAIC’s community came to support friends, buy gifts, and explore the wares hand-made by students like prints, jewelry, ceramics, clothes, and a surplus of odds and ends.
