The 12 th Annual Student Art Sale gives Sinclair Community College artists a chance to sell their various pieces of work while raising money for a scholarship fund. Twenty percent of all proceeds from the sale will be donated to the SCC art scholarship fund, Associate Professor Bob Coates said in an e-mail.<\/p>\n
Wanda Baer, a 89-year-old graduate and former employee of Sinclair, takes ceramic classes at the college. She said the sale is a good experience for the younger students and is a nice way for her to sell her pieces while giving back.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been doing this for 20 years. It gives people like me a chance to sell what we have made and most importantly helps the student art scholarship fund,\u201d she said. \u201cFor younger, regular students it gives them a chance to learn how to price, sell and get some practical experience with selling their pieces. It also gives them some confidence in their work, which I think is great.\u201d<\/p>\n
The art scholarship fund is awarded to art students who present a portfolio for review and are approved. The other 80 percent of sales go directly to the artist according to Coates.<\/p>\n
The 12th annual Student Art Sale\/Raffle will be held on the second floor of Building 13 on May 4 and 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and May 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n
Student\u2019s ceramics, oil and acrylic paintings, prints, photographs, computer art and sculptures\u00a0will be up for sale said Coates. Prices will run anywhere from $1 to $100. Cash and checks will be accepted only.<\/p>\n
Pat Klopfenstein, a student at Sinclair, said that the sale will also have a raffle for which she donates a piece of her work for.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsually I donate a piece for the raffle because all of the money goes to the scholarship fund and that is the most important thing. I always try to do something that has different textures, wooden handles or dyed reed,\u201d she said. \u201cI have some ceramic spring bulbs that will be in the sale and I am finishing a vase now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Klopfenstein also said that the sale is a great place to buy something exclusive and inexpensive for people during the holidays.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hold the sales right before Mothers Day and Winter Break so that students can find something that\u2019s inexpensive, nice and unique,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
