Summary

For the 2025 Museum Week art show, the Beaver Island Historical Society developed an “Everyone’s an Artist” fundraiser based on handmade ornaments. Participants could donate an ornament they made or decorate one supplied for the show; a May follow-up described three planned workshops and said proceeds would benefit the Society.

Evidence limits

The forum preserves advance program notices, not the final ornaments, workshop dates, sales, proceeds, attendance, or exhibition outcome.
