July 5, 2024 – The Miller Art Museum in downtown Sturgeon Bay announced today preparations for the organization’s annual Art & Treasures Fundraiser, now in its 19th year, and scheduled to open to the public on Saturday, August 3, 2024. The Museum is seeking tax-deductible donations of new and gently used items from the community to support its fundraising efforts. In particular, the museum is looking for objets d’ art––fine art, sculpture, prints, jewelry, books, collectibles, craft and art supplies, home décor, unique oddities, and more. 
The Art & Treasures Fundraiser presents a fun and eclectic collection of items from year to year, with proceeds benefitting the museum’s operations and programming. This year’s fundraiser will again be held at M3, the museum’s satellite education space located at 142 S. 3rd Avenue in downtown Sturgeon Bay. Sale hours are 10am - 4pm Tues. - Fri. and 10am - Noon Sat. from August 3 - 17, 2024; closed Sun. and Mon.
“Art & Treasures is an event that our community looks forward to and enjoys every year that impacts our ability to carry out our mission and our programming,” says Executive Director Elizabeth Meissner-Gigstead. “We’re incredibly grateful to the community for their tremendous support of this endeavor through the form of donations or purchases from year to year as it, in part, sustains our work and ensures access to a continued presence for the visual arts in downtown Sturgeon Bay.”
