Set against the sweeping waterfront of Sturgeon Bay, the beautifully restored Door County Granary provides a stunning and historically rich backdrop for the Miller Art Museum’s Fall 2025 Signature Fundraiser. Once a grain elevator serving the Peninsula’s agricultural industry, the Granary has been thoughtfully reimagined as a gathering space where the past and present converge—making it the perfect venue to honor the Museum’s impact in the organization's 50th anniversary year. The evening will feature a plated dinner by Crave Cuisine, known for their fresh, artfully prepared fare, camaraderie, and a live auction. Guests are invited to enjoy an evening celebrating the work of the Peninsula's art museum with this elegant culinary experience in the warm, timber-framed interior of Sturgeon Bay's newest event venue.

Art & Treasures Fundraiser
July 12 - 26, 2025
Each year, the Miller Art Museum inspires thousands through dynamic exhibitions and educational programs that engage audiences of all ages. This work is made possible, in part, through generous community support and key fundraising efforts—in part, the Art & Treasures Fundraiser, celebrating its 20th year in 2025. A longstanding highlight of the Museum’s fundraising calendar, the event celebrates art through a thoughtfully curated selection of donated goods. Patrons will discover an eclectic mix of gently loved original artwork and fine art reproductions by notable Door County and regional artists, alongside art books, ceramics, sculpture, vintage collectibles, frames, textiles, jewelry, and an array of unique and unexpected finds.
