The Annual Arts and Crafts show is a crucial fundraiser for the University Activities Board, and all proceeds from booth fees go directly to our UAB student events, which provide community building and social opportunities for students on campus. These events are proudly planned and implemented by students.
On behalf of all MSU students who continue to enjoy our campus-wide programming, thank you for being an artists & crafter.
