Charish the Arts

I created two chairs for this art chair tour and auction.
The Northwest Connecticut Arts Council has launched a region-wide public art event to support arts education and the Council. The event, titled CHAIRish the ARTS, is an art chair tour and auction, the proceeds from which will be divided among the Northwest Connecticut Arts Council and three beneficiary organizations that provide region-wide scholarships to students to study the visual, performing and literary arts.

#75 "Take a Stand… Take a Seat"
by Cheryl Bartley & Priscilla Newcomb

The chair before I stenciled on the words.

This is the outline that I created for the chair. We were going to
paint it but then we decided to have Priscilla make a digital image from Rosa's mug shot. She made it with one side white and one side black as you can see on the finished chair. From that point we decide to glue it to a painted blood red wooden board and then coated it with gloss finish.
