Art Auction – The Lake Erie Islands Historical Society

Welcome to the 2022 Island Art Auction listing page. The auction will be held in August 12, at the Crew's Nest. Viewing starts at 3 pm with the live auction starting at 5 pm.

Artists will be using architectural elements, including windows from the Hunker House (Chan Stevens former property), from the former Schmidt property and the E&K Winery. The overall theme is Put-in-Bay and/or Lake Erie Island related.

We will add images of the avaiable artwork as it comes into the museum. All proceeds from the auction benefit the historical society museum, a 501(c)3 non-profit.

We will keep the images of the 2021 Art Auction online so you may review some of the artwork available last year using wood and historic items from the E&K Winery in Sandusky, OH.
