The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University will host its annual art sale from Nov. 17-20, with thousands of eclectic pieces available for purchase from hundreds of talented established and emerging artists.


The sale, at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University's campus at 230 The Fenway in Boston, offers nearly 4,000 works by almost 700 SMFA at Tufts students, alumni, faculty and other affiliated artists. The selection of artworks includes a mix of paintings, drawings, photographs, prints, video, ceramics, and jewelry.


Each visit to the sale over the course of the short week is different because the selection is constantly being refreshed as pieces are sold. The sale also includes a pop-up jewelry shop in the Barbara and Steven Grossman Gallery at the SMFA at Tufts, and an assortment of unframed works in bins, both very popular with visitors.


The art sale kicks off on Thursday, Nov. 17, at 10 a.m., followed by a public reception from 5-8 p.m. that evening. The sale ends at 5 p.m. the following Sunday, Nov. 20. Admission to the opening reception and the sale itself is free.


The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University splits the proceeds from each sale 50/50 with the artist, so each sale both supports artists and provides opportunities, financial aid and other creative resources for art students at the school. Last year, more than 4,000 patrons visited the sale, which is the SMFA at Tufts' biggest fundraiser.


The 2016 art sale is sponsored by Stanhope Framers, U.S. Art and Horizon Beverages.
