At most universities, the on-campus gallery or museum also features a store where students' art and design work is sold to generate program support. Considering that we teach all 253 students out of just seven classrooms booked from 9 am-9 pm—well, that's just not going to work. But an online store without an inventory allows us to make money in our sleep; now that could be successful!
The result is money raised by students for future students, and no one had to spend their Saturday afternoon mailing coffee cups and stickers.
Welcome to The Department Store!
The biggest selling item? This sticker!
