Annual Chair Auction

Annual Chair Auction

November 1 – 22, 2025 | Winners announced live during the Christmas Walk

Under the leadership of AAV artist Pam Meland, our beloved Chair Raffle has evolved into a Silent Auction for 2025—offering a fresh, artful way to support AuSable Artisan Village programs.

This year’s collection features hand-painted director’s chairs created and donated by talented gallery artists Christine White, Pamela Meland, Terry Dickinson, Lynn Oldfield, and Emily Millard. Each chair is a one-of-a-kind work of art and is now on display in the window of Artisan Village’s Original Gallery at 122 Michigan Avenue.

The auction runs November 1 through November 22, culminating during the Christmas Walk, when the winning bids will be announced live on Facebook from Gallery 122.

“Our goal with the chair auction is to celebrate creativity and community while raising funds to support AuSable Artisan Village programs,” said Radel Rosin, Executive Director. “By moving to a silent auction, we hope to make the event feel more like an art experience—inviting people to connect with the work and the mission behind it.”

Come admire the artistry, place your bids, and help us continue to grow a thriving creative community in the heart of downtown Grayling.
