Local photographer Dirk Sweringen died earlier this year. His silver print of ocean fresh crab and seafood will be raffled off as part of the fundraiser.

ILWACO, Wash. — Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum is hosting an “Out the Window Art Auction” to benefit the museum.

The auction is open now and continues until Nov. 13 at 10 p.m. The modified art auction will help provide funding for museum operations while showcasing local artwork from the community.

Artists from around the region have donated original works with the theme “Out the Window,” and more than 60 works will be displayed in the museum’s special exhibit gallery. During that time, bids can be placed in person at the museum or online by going to the website, fundraiser.bid/cphm.

The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Raffle tickets are available for purchase at the museum for $20, and the winner will receive an original signed silver print by the late Dirk Sweringen, donated by his estate.
