UCSC Print Sale this Weekend

Posted by Maximum Fun on 4th June 2007


One of my favorite annual events in Santa Cruz is the UCSC Print Sale, which is coming up this weekend. Whether you live in the Monterey bay area, the south bay, or San Francisco, it’s worth a trip.

Once a year, the art department at UCSC throws open their doors to sell student art. Some of it isn’t to my taste, but every time I go, I come home with a few beautiful pieces. There are prints on paper, prints on fabric, block prints, lithographs, t-shirts, cards and a million other things. And the most expensive pieces are only thirty or forty dollars.

From where I’m sitting now, I can see three pieces that I bought at the print sale, and there are a few more in my closet (on clothes, of course). It’s a wonderful event, and not to be missed. I reccomend driving down from the Bay Area for a morning at the print sale and an afternoon at the boardwalk or out on the beach. You won’t regret it.
