Show Your heART: Chairs for Charity

This morning, I picked up this sad, lonely,  used, wooden chair in desperate need of a makeover.

The reason? The Furniture Bank, an organization that turns houses into homes for less-fortunate families in and around Houston, is sponsoring a silent auction of OOAK art chairs created by Houston’s artists and designers. As part of the project, artists are  to document the transformation.

100% of the proceeds of the sale of these OOAK Art chairs will be auction will support the Furniture Bank and its associate agencies.
