Wassenberg online auction event ongoing

Get your bid on! Our online Auction at the Wass event launched on March 19 and runs through April 30; lots of time to shop for Mother’s Day or for you.

An original painting by watercolorist and artist Pat Rayman is up for bid in the Wassenberg Art Center’s online auction.

You can score up to a three-day stay at your choice of tree houses at Dwellbox, located near beautiful New Philadelphia. Choose from four different unique tree houses housing two to four people or check out their Dwellhouse for larger groups. We have all kinds of things from art, to restaurant meals, gift baskets, spring decor, and designer tote bags. We even have an autographed baseball! We’ll be sending out an email and reminders, directions and links through social media. All proceeds help the Wassenberg Art Center launch a brand new season with classes and events like popular Town Creek Live. Thank you to all our donors for their generosity! Get ready to bid at www.wassenbergartcenter.org

Our annual High School Invitational Exhibit is on view now through April 4. We feature some of the best high school artists within a 50-mile radius. This artwork is always inspiring to view!

In-Grained! Call for entry and invitational exhibit will open on April 15 and will be on view through May 28. In-Grained is the result of a movement created by Ralph Stuckman of Celina who saw patterns and images in the grains of wood. Many artists have taken on working in this medium in both painting and sculpture. Artwork submission deadline is April 9. Call for more information or questions.

This springtime wreath generously donated by Laurie’s Naturescapes for the Wassenberg auction will cheer up your front door all through this summer. 

Watercolor Class (in-house and ongoing) (masks required) Tuesday mornings; 10 a.m.-noon. Fee: $55 Regular, $40 WAC member cost. Instructor: Pat Rayman.

As mentioned above, we are open every Thursday evening until 9 p.m. Stop by for a pint or glass of wine and soak in some art or just hang out around our warm, vintage fireplace.
