Photos: Artistic gifts galore

Ceramics from platters to bowls to cups. Colorful and intricate wrapping papers. Glass objects from ornaments to finely crafted vases. The Newcomb Art Department's annual holiday sale is the perfect opportunity to pick up creative holiday gifts and support art programs.

The once-a-year holiday sale takes place from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. today (Dec. 2) and Saturday (Dec. 3) in the Carroll Gallery of the art building, in the Woldenberg Art Center on the uptown campus. Faculty, alumni and students have crafted all the items, and proceeds will go back to their particular art areas. For example, money earned from sales of glass art goes to buy equipment for the glass studio.
