The "Chair Affair" is an upcoming chair auction/fund raiser, using 100 year old chairs which have been “artistically altered”. The goal is to generate money for audio visual equipment in order to enhance The Pendleton Artist Society's art education programs for children and adults in the community. We will be auctioning 30 historical Pendleton chairs, which were originally used by our local Odd Fe
llows Chapter 100 years ago, until the chairs found a home in “The Bank” restaurant. Many locals as well as their ancestors have sat in these very chairs. Garry Brammer, new owner of “The Bank”, kindly donated the chairs to PAS and we have UNLEASHED 20 artists to “artistically alter” these chairs. Nothing will escape the imagination, ingenuity and skill of these PAS artists. You may begin placing your bids on Heritage Days, Sept. 11 & 12 at Gallery 119 on State Street in Pendleton. Silent bidding begins Sept 11th & 12th, 10am-6pm
You may continue the silent bidding at the gallery (in person or by phone, 778-0986) during gallery hours, Tues.-Sat. 11-4
