Utah State University Print Sale

This announcement is mostly for the Cache Valley dwellers. On Thursday, November 29th, the Art Department of USU is holding its annual Print Sale, where you can buy original work by USU students, faculty, and alumni.

Reasons why this is cool.

1. Who doesn't want cheap original art?

2. When people come into your living room and admire your walls they won't say, "IKEA, right?" (Not that I don't love and want to marry IKEA, because I absolutely do, but it's nice not to have the exact same stuff that everybody else has.)

3. Original art feeds pretensions of grandeur.

4. You're supporting art students.

5. You might find some great Christmas gifts.

6. You're buying local.

7. AND you're buying handmade.

8. If the artist ever becomes big it will make you look like the most discerning art buyer ever, you with your early-original-owning self. And then maybe you could sell it for a million dollars and buy yourself a cottage in Derbyshire where you will eat brie and Thornton's chocolate and make out with British men all day long.

So even if you can't get to L****, it might be worth it to see if the art department at your local university does something like this.
