Looking for a convenient way to do some holiday shopping without leaving campus? Would you like your dollars to benefit Buffalo State students and the Burchfield-Penney Art Center as well? Then mark your calendars for the 11th annual Student Art Show and Sale on December 5 and 6 in Upton Gallery, and the Burchfield-Penney Art Center Museum Store holiday sale in Rockwell Hall December 6–9.

Art education, design, and fine arts students will literally be “running the show,” which includes marketing the sale, setting up displays, and selling unique works of art. In past years, the sale has offered jewelry, pottery, paintings, scarves, furniture, and more, all created by students.

Last year’s sale brought in close to $10,000. Seventy-five percent of the funds are returned to students; the remaining proceeds fund the subsequent year’s sale and are returned to campus art and design studios to enhance or replace equipment.

The student sale runs Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Next, head to the Burchfield-Penney Art Center Museum Store, another perfect place for holiday shopping, where Buffalo State students, faculty, and staff will receive a 10 percent discount on all purchases from Thursday, December 6, through Sunday, December 9.

Find unique gifts, one-of-a-kind works of art by local artists, beautiful jewelry by Western New York designers, great gifts for kids, and an amazing selection of books about Charles Burchfield, Western New York art, and Buffalo Niagara. All proceeds benefit both the Burchfield-Penney Art Center and the Western New York artists whose work is available for sale in the shop. Store hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Sunday.
