Women's History Month Art Sale
"Women in Digital Arts" is a class that empowers girls in graphic design and fine art to express their creativity. As a celebration of Women's History Month, Digital Arts students created typography portraits of notable women, both living and deceased, who are legendary figures and have inspired the lives of the students who created the portraits.
Purchasing these prints will support St. Ursula Academy's Diversity Advisory Committee (DAC). The DAC is composed of students, faculty, and staff who create effective actions and solutions to support anti-racism efforts at SUA.
The prints are sized at 11"x14" and cost $12 each.
The sale is open through Wednesday, March 27.
Prints will be shipped the week of April 8.
SUA, the DAC, and our Arrow artists appreciate your support!
