Biannual Art Sale

When is the Art Sale?

It’s twice a year, once in the late November or early December (for Holiday gifts!) and once in late Spring (for Mother’s Day!). The sale is held in the area between the Art classrooms–we call it the quad, but you can call it anything you like.

Who does the Art Sale benefit?

The sale benefits the Art Guild. The work is all by students or former students (now professional artists) of Palomar, so you can find some amazing up and coming work, or some terrific deals from the pros. Either way the students and the Department benefit. And you get a chance to show you good taste, and find some one-of-a-kind items you won’t see anywhere else

Scholarship Competition

SCHOLARSHIPS

The Art Department has an annual scholarship competition for enrolled students. The event gives students the opportunity to present a selection of their work (no more than six) and have it judged by the faculty, and you will be required to prepare a statement for the judges to review. Your submitted pieces must have been produced within the last two years.

The competition takes place in April of each year. Check back at the beginning of the month for this years exact date, and a link to the form you’ll need to fill out to enter the competition.

Check this page for updates as April approaches.
