CHAIR AFFAIR ARTISTS

Every spring, Community Warehouse hosts its annual Chair Affair event to raise critical mission funds.

At the heart of the event are brilliant, one-of-a-kind Children’s Chairs created by local artists.

Our current Children’s Chair artist cycle has concluded. We look forward to welcoming new artists for Chair Affair 2026 in August.

How does the Children’s Chair Project work?

Community Warehouse collects used donated children’s chairs and distributes them to local artists. The artists then transform the chairs into unique, joyful pieces of functional art for children.

The chairs go on to be displayed at our Chair Affair fundraising event and sponsored by supporters, raising critical funds for Community Warehouse’s mission.

After Chair Affair, the Children’s Chairs return to our furniture banks where they are picked out by children who visit Community Warehouse with their family to receive services.
