A Chair Affair 2013
The chairs are in the hands of artists being painted
Adirondack chairs, benches and side tables are being transformed into works of art to be shared with the entire community. Sturdy, handmade furniture is entered into a silent auction with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Art Reach children’s programs. And people vote for the best decorated furniture to determine the winners of prize money totaling $675.
There are three categories of competition with the top three vote getters of each category winning the money. Silent auction bidding and voting takes place at Art Reach on Broadway in downtown Mt. Pleasant while the Adirondacks are on display at local businesses. Prizes will be awarded at the end of Chair Affair.
