Northwest Missouri State University’s Department of Fine and Performing Arts will host its annual winter art show and sale, in conjunction with the Clay Club’s Empty Cups fundraiser. The Clay Club is an organization for ceramics students at an intermediate or advanced level.

The art show and sale, which features a variety of art made by students, is 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Friday, December 1, and 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Saturday, December 2, in the foyer of the Fire Arts Building, located south of the Olive DeLuce Fine Arts Building on the Northwest campus in Maryville, Missouri.

The Empty Cups fundraiser, hosted by Northwest’s Clay Club, is from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Thursday, November 30, and Friday, December 1, on the second floor of the J.W. Jones Student Union. Guests are invited to purchase handmade ceramics, and a portion of the proceeds are donated to the Maryville Ministry Center and Northwest’s Bearcat Food Pantry.

Both events are free and open to the public and serve as an opportunity to find exclusive, handmade gifts and promote the work of rising artists.
