On Nov 30th the Union Station Holiday Marketplace opened, along with an adorable booth called Working It that represents OCAD U Photography, Publishing & Printmaking students!  As noted by blogto.com there are lots of affordable and delightful options for sale!

It you would like to add your prints or objects to the booth (note: 20% will be taken off for administrative costs), please contact Jenn Long at jlong@faculty.ocadu.ca before Friday, Dec 11th.  We are looking for bright and eye catching objects (buttons, multiples, books…) and prints (4×5 and 5×7 prints sell at $5, 8×10 prints sell at $20) to add to our collection!

The market will continue until Dec 20th.  Unsold artworks will be ready for pick up at the start of the  Winter semester and payments for sold work will given in late January 2016.

Sample images that have sold well at recent print sales:

Jacquelyn Holland, seascapes, dreamscapes, 2014

Images with people are OK but there has to be more than one face (ex: street photography – crowd of people, hidden faces, etc.)
