Outdoor Gallery Panel Auction

All five panels from the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s 2022 Outdoor Gallery exhibition will be available for acquisition. The GAAC is holding an online auction April 25 – 27. The 5-foot square artworks are reproductions of original, acrylic paintings by Carrie Hensel, the Ann Arbor, Michigan, winner of the 2022 Outdoor Gallery competition.

Online bidding begins April 25, 9 am, and concludes on April 27, 2 pm. Opening bids start at $600/panel minimum on these four panels: Revisit The Pines, Birches In October, Wintry Woods, and Twilight On Bear Lake. Note: The opening bid for the Morning Sun On Trilliums panel begins at $500. In Summer 2022 there was an unsuccessful attempt to steal this panel, which resulted in some surface damage: several linear scratches, and two “dents” along the top edge of the panel. Bidding instructions and images of the panels may be found here: https://glenarborart.org/2023-outdoor-gallery-panel-auction/.

The panels are lightweight aluminum finished with a weather-resistant coating. They now hang on the GAAC’s exterior walls, and may be viewed at any time.
