This student sale has become a tradition for the CSUCI Art Program, and 50 percent of all money generated by the sale of student artwork is earmarked to benefit local and international non-profit organizations. The other 50 percent goes to the contributing artist. When making the purchase, this year the art buyers have the choice of which program they wish to contribute to including the Ventura County Arts Council, the United Nations World Food Programme, and the CSUCI Art Program exhibition fund.
