Chairs for Charity returns to Calaveras County on Jan. 26,
2013
San Andreas Town Hall is the venue for 2013’s event. As in the past, attendees will enjoy a
delicious buffet dinner, no-host bar with a special signature drink, live and
silent auctions of creatively decorated chairs and/or chair-related items, an
assortment of valuable raffle items to choose from, and an opportunity to
participate in raucous rounds of Xtreme Musical Chairs. Admission is $25 – advance ticket sales only.
The Pickle Patch, San Andreas, will cater dinner and Mindi Bach will serve as
our emcee and auctioneer.
So, now is the time for local artists, non-profit groups,
schools and local organizations to find that perfect chair to transform into a
“Work of Art”. Entries in 2013 are
limited to 30, so make your plans now and mark your calendars. Judges will choose the top 10 and those will
be sold during the live auction segment of the event. Others will be auctioned off via silent
auction.
All entry forms must be at the Arts Council office/Gallery
by December 21, 2012.
Sponsoring and hosting Chairs for Charity 2013 are Calaveras
Arts Council and Soroptimist International of Calaveras County. Broad ranges of artworks are encouraged. Past
entries have included benches, photography of chairs, ceramics, quilting
pieces, children’s high and rocking chairs and chairs featuring live
plants. The sky is truly the limit.
“Chairs for Charity
will allow the two organizations to continue their programs and projects in
enriching the lives of area residents and guests,” states Mary Jane Genochio,
Executive Director of the Arts Council.

Council at 754-1774 or visit the Arts Council Gallery at 22 Main Street in San
