David O. Hart: Great Lakes Artist

This spring, discover the Great Lakes’ newest master, David O. Hart. For years Dave Hart has been a tireless volunteer on the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship. Unbeknownst to many, he is also a prolific and talented artist. Dave recently revealed his work to his friends at the museum and we are proud to host his debut exhibition. You can own one of these original artworks! The works are offered for sale ($150 to $250, unframed) as a fundraiser to benefit the ongoing maintenance and restoration of the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship.

All of Mr. Hart’s paintings are for sale, through his kind generosity.  Below is a list of what is available.  If you are interested in purchasing a painting, please call us at 419-214-5000 x 200.  Mr. Hart might also be interested in commissions, please contact us to discuss and arrange it.
