AKRON ART MUSEUM
The 30th annual Wine Auction
A Special Edition of the Wine Auction - Grand Opening Celebration of the Renovated 1899 Building
September 19, 2026, 5:30pm- 11pm
Traditionally held in June, the Akron Art Museum Wine Auction returns in September 2026 for a singular occasion celebrating the completed renovation and grand reopening of the Museum’s historic 1899 building.
This special edition of the Wine Auction marks the unveiling of more art, expanded exhibition space, and new experiences for our community. The transformed building will introduce the Idea Machine—a flexible, community-centered space designed for artmaking, collaboration, and creative experimentation—along with new galleries that significantly enhance the Museum’s capacity for exhibitions.
Join us for an extraordinary evening of art, wine, and celebration in support of the Museum’s exhibitions and education programs.
Tickets begin at $300 per guest, with sponsorships with table packages available.
