When the Oil City Library hosts an art sale this month, it will be like stepping into a time capsule, according to organizers.
​

"Discover this time capsule collection of Wealtha Vann Ausdall artwork, spanning decades & styles, and hidden away for years until it was discovered in a trunk," the group posted online. "Wealtha was a local artist, instructor and teacher at Oil City High School for many decades. Her work is varied, & these pieces include portraits, landscapes, local oil fields, & other whimsical subjects of the times."
Pieces will be put on display and offered for sale for the first time on July 21 and 22 in the library's historic second floor theatre space. The sale will run from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on July 21 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on July 22. Art will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis.
​
The event is being coordinated by Nicholas Hess of The Printer’s Cabinet & Curiosities with help from Gavin Eisenman of Center & Elm Antiques and framing onsite by Victorian City Art & Frame.


A portion of the proceeds will go toward an art scholarship for future graduating seniors at Oil City High School. The sale is also part of the library's effort to increase public awareness of the ongoing renovations of the theatre space.

"This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local art by a prolific, listed artist," organizers said.
