The Painted Chair Art Affair, held
August 29, 2009, was an unqualified success. We had better attendance than ever before, and everyone who participated left feeling happy about their sales/exposure. The fundraising committee earned over $700 thanks to the food they provided for the event, and the Visual Artists are well on the way to establishing themselves thanks to the popularity of the painted chairs they so lovingly shared for the silent auction.
