This year we are celebrating the 52nd anniversary of our legendary print sale!

Friday & Saturday June 5&6, 2026 10am – 6pm

The event runs in conjunction with the Art Department’s Spring Open Studios

Hundreds of original prints will be for sale in a variety of media at this two-day event, including: woodcuts, lithographs, etchings, photo-based prints, screen prints, & more!

All proceeds benefit art students: 80% of proceeds go to the individual artists, 20% goes to support the Print Studio (and thereby back to printmaking students)!

This once-a-year event presents an extraordinary opportunity for students to display and sell their work to the public. The event also offers an opportunity to see the exceptional quality of the printmaking program and facilities at UC Santa Cruz.

This program is open to UC Santa Cruz affiliates and all members of the public consistent with state and federal law
