Party Pics: MCAD Art Sale

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design holds its annual sale of student and alumni artists’ work

The nation’s largest student art sale’s 21st year brought together 7,000 pieces of art created by 400 student and alumni artists the weekend before Thanksgiving. Nearly $300,000 was raised, bringing the all-time total close to $3.3 million, with 80 percent of the proceeds benefiting the artists. The three-day event always attracts a collective as diverse as the art itself. Among attendees were musician/writer Dessa, KNOCK president and CEO Lili Hall, and Love Your Melon CEO Zachary Quinn, who proudly announced his engagement to Brooke Durham.
