It’s the most wonderful time of the year for art lovers! UA Little Rock will host its annual Department of Art and Design Holiday Art Sale on Thursday, Dec. 1, and Friday, Dec. 2.

The holiday sale will be held from 6-9 p.m. Thursday and 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Friday in the Windgate Center of Art and Design. Patrons who attend the sale will have the chance to purchase a wide array of unique and beautiful items from the students, faculty, and staff in the Department of Art and Design.

The Holiday Art Sale gives student artists a chance to learn about the fast-paced world of buying and selling art and what it takes to earn a living as an artist. This sale, which is free to attend and open to the public, is a great opportunity to buy handmade holiday gifts from local artists while also supporting UA Little Rock students.

“This is a great time to come check out the Windgate Center of Art and Design and see what the students, faculty, and alumni are making,” said Kensuke Yamada, assistant professor of ceramics. “It’s been three years since we’ve been able to hold the Holiday Art Sale, and there is a lot of anticipation for everyone to show their best work and holiday cheer.”

The event will also feature music, hot cocoa, faculty art demonstrations, and more. For more information, contact Prof. Yamada at kyamada@ualr.edu.
