Sale of artworks by Carol Brauer-Schmidt to benefit St. John’s Lutheran Church and School
The works of beloved local artist Carol Brauer-Schmidt
will be available for sale to the public in a one-day event.
The 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 15 sale will be held in the social hall at St. John’s Lutheran Church and school,
527 Taylor, Grand Haven.
The sale will feature Brauer-Schmidt’s art supplies, and works created over her more than 55 years as an artist. Brauer-Schmidt died in May of 2022 from complications
of acute myeloid leukemia.
A well-known local artist and long-time member of Grand Haven’s Gallery Uptown, Brauer-Schmidt was perhaps best known for her uplifting images of children. She was a long-time supporter and volunteer with St John’s Lutheran School, and proceeds from the art sale will benefit the school and St. John’s Lutheran Church, her family said.
