As one of only three professional university-based print ateliers, the University of South Florida’s Graphicstudio has become a popular stopover in many influential artists’ creative journeys.

If your walls need a new vibe, USF’s printmaking workshop has you covered at its yearly open house and benefit sale, with an opportunity to bring home reliefs, etches, photogravure, screenprinting, lithography, and bronze cast sculptures at discounts of 10%-40% off the list price.

All told, more than a dozen artists—including pop art proponent James Rosenquist (work pictured above)—are part of the lineup. Rare prints and sculptures by Theo Wujick, Arakawa, Ed Ruscha and Sandra Cinto are among the available work, alongside materials from E.V. Day, Mark Dion and Rico Gatson.

There is no cover for Graphicstudio’s Open House + Benefit Sale happening Saturday, May 10 in Tampa.
