>>>>>     The MECA HOLIDAY ART SALE   <<<<<

Last year at MECA Holiday sale I bought these cool orange foil origami crane earings the size of your finger nail,  the bride loved them , they are still today totaly unique and always garner complements and coments. All for under $10.00.  I'm looking for more of those this year.
There are 3 things you can expect at the MECA Holiday sale:
#1 the Porteous Building 522 Congress street will be packed with MECA Student, Alumni, Faculty & Staff Artists Selling their efforts,
#2 It will be packed with People buying cool art, I mean packed ( like hot body heat hot from so many folks)
#3 The prices for unique one of a kind gift art will be the best for the dollar holiday value you can find .  

The thing I really like best about this sale , is the money you spend at the MECA sale goes to help artists survive and create more art.  As a matter of fact you get to meet the artist and hand them your hard earned dollars.
Now that's buying Local!
That's FeelGood Capitalism and I can really buy into that...
