BU Art Market: Hand-Crafted Holiday Gifts
Those on the lookout for creative holiday gifts found a treasure trove in the GSU Link December 6. For sale at the BU Art Market were jewelry, artworks, knitted and crocheted pieces, and baked goods. Oh, and there was some less permanent artwork available: Amira Sheikh (CFA’25) created a henna tattoo for Elana Harris (MET’23), BU Arts Initiative interim managing director.
