Maine College of Art presents Collect: MECA’s Fall Art Sale 2015, October 8-10, its third annual art sale, a fundraiser in support of MECA’s Scholarship Fund. This three-day salon-style extravaganza is a great opportunity to discover emerging artists, view new work by established artists and build or add to an art collection. The art sale features a unique, diverse and unexpected array of original work in a variety of genres with a range of sizes, prices and media, including furniture, sculpture, jewelry, paintings, prints, photography, textiles, drawings and more.
