Miller Art Museum To Host Virtual Fundraiser

The Miller Art Museum will host Hand to HeART: A Virtual Fundraiser Pairing Creativity + Comfort on March 29. The funds raised are critical to the museum’s continuing programming and operations.

Keynote speaker Sarah Chance will emcee the event: an evening of tributes by those who serve and are served by the organization; a silent auction of 20-plus lots with fantastic variety, including art-related gifts and dining, lodging and gift certificates; and a behind-the-scenes view into the glass-casting process with artist Stephanie Trenchard of Popelka Trenchard Glass. 

The evening will finish with the auction of a Trenchard original cast-glass sculpture commissioned for the event that features Jessie Kalmbach Chase, a pioneering female artist who worked on the peninsula during the early to mid-1900s. 

The Bidding Owl auction will debut March 19, 6 pm, and close March 29, 8 pm. To donate to the silent auction, contact Executive Director Elizabeth Meissner-Gigstead at [email protected] or call 920.746.0707.
