On Saturday, March 17, CalArts hosted the 7th Annual Print Fair—a student-organized event that featured the print and craft work of CalArts students, alumni, faculty, and friends. The print fair and its associated branding and collateral is a collaborative design project by the Graphic Design BFA2 students, and allows them to produce work that is visible to the entire institution. Attendees had the opportunity to browse and purchase handmade goods such as posters, zines, totes, t-shirts, and more!

The event ran from 2pm-7:30pm and featured 50+ individual vendors, live music and live printing.
