Sow's Ear Becomes Silk Purse

It's time for the annual Chair Affair! This fabulous event encourages artistic creativity while raising critically needed money for the Community Warehouse.

Once again, our own Eddy Shuldman is participating, taking on the challenge of transforming an eyesore into eye candy! Pictured here is the original chair that Eddy used. If you want to see what she has done with it, the project will be on display, along with numerous others, TOMORROW evening as a First Thursday event at:
ANKA Gallery
325 NW 6th
Portland, 97209
Thursday, April 2, 2009
6-9 pm


Eddy will be there most of the time...and so will some of her students who created 2 projects for this very special cause. Additional chairs will also be on display at PH Reed Company on NW 11th/GLISAN.

The chairs will be on display at these two locations for a couple of weeks.

The transformed chairs will be sold at a gala AUCTION on April 23rd from 6-8:30 at Staver Locomotive. Ticket info can be picked up tomorrow at first Thursday, you can contact the Community Warehouse at 503.224.5721

Community Warehouse does an amazing job of providing household furnishings for the needy in our community. Given the state of our economy is is now more important than ever to support our neighbors who are facing challenges.

Big crowds at the Anka Gallery this evening! the response to my work was very positive....but even better was the response to my kids work. I am incredibly proud of them.

Community Warehouse is an amazing organization that deserves broad community support. I hope people will come to the auction....or at least make a donation.

It's tough times these days...all the tougher for those who have lost their jobs or are otherwise financially impacted.
