Keynote speaker Sarah Chance will emcee the March 19 event: an evening of tributes by those who serve and are served by the organization, the silent auction and a behind-the-scenes look into artist Stephanie Trenchard’s fascinating glass-casting process.The museum invites the public to support its efforts online this year to help ensure that it remains a vital piece of downtown Sturgeon Bay and the county’s arts community.
