Staff Council Fine Arts and Crafts Fair Handmade treasures for sale on Nov. 22

Indianapolis, Indiana – The IUPUI Staff Council will host its first Fine Arts and Crafts Fair on Saturday, November 22, 2008, in the IUPUI Campus Center, located on the southwest corner of Michigan Street and University Boulevard.

Visitors can choose holiday gifts and one-of-a-kind handmade items offered by more than 40 crafters and artisans from around the state. Each vendor has been hand-selected from a team of jurors from the Staff Council committee to ensure quality items are featured. Items for sale include clothing, glass art, jewelry, purses, original artwork, floral arrangements, woodcrafts, pottery, stained glass, candles, and seasonal decorations for the home and yard. There will be free demonstrations by various crafters throughout the day.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., November 22. Admission to the fair is free of charge and open to the public. Parking is available in the Vermont Street garage adjacent to the Campus Center and discount parking vouchers will be given at the door.

Show co-chair, Melanie Curfman promises “door prizes and a fun shopping experience.” Curfman says that the Campus Center will offer a variety of dining choices throughout the day including Caribou Coffee, Mondo Subs and Outtakes. Starbucks, located in the Barnes and Noble Bookstore of the Campus Center, will also offer an assortment of beverages and food options. Curfman is administrative assistant for the English Department in the School of Liberal Arts.

The Staff Council represents all non-faculty and non-union employees of IUPUI. The Fine Arts and Crafts Fair is the group’s first major annual fundraising effort. Proceeds from booth rental will support scholarships for IUPUI students.

The IUPUI Staff Council is excited to host their first show for the community and hopes this event continues to grow in popularity, according to co-chair and president, Sue Herrell. "The new IUPUI Campus Center provides a stunning venue for this event. Craft fair attendees are free to explore the new building before or after they shop," Herrell says.
