The Western Illinois University Department of Art & Design will host its annual Holiday Art Sale from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday–Wednesday, December 15th–17th, each day in the WIU University Union Brattain Lounge.

The event invites community members, faculty, staff and students to support local student artists while shopping for unique, handcrafted gifts just in time for the holiday season. Featured works include ceramics, prints, jewelry, photography and more, all created by WIU student artists.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale will directly support participating students, providing vital financial assistance that helps further their artistic development and educational opportunities.

In addition, the Fifth Annual Little Rocky Dog Silent Auction, hosted by the Office of Student Engagement, will also take place in the Brattain Lounge during this time, offering attendees another opportunity to support WIU student artists.
