The art exhibit will be held in Room 113 of Van Campen Hall, displaying international students’ creations. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day.

Sales from Ten Thousand Villages, a nonprofit company that provides unemployed artisans with a chance to gain income and improve their quality of life, will help fund a study abroad scholarship through EHHS.

The store, located in White Hall Room 200, will feature hundreds of items including gifts, jewelry, home décor and artwork.
