This Saturday, September 10, 2011, during the Whitley County Autumn Art Festival, up to a dozen chairs designed by local residents will be auctioned off to benefit a scholarship fund for local art students. "Chair-ish An Art Student," was a project spearheaded by Lynn Walker, Aileen Meier, Bonnie Shipman and Kay Fleck. The silent auction of many items, including the chairs, begins at 9 a.m. and continues until 2 p.m. Each chair features a unique design. Artists completing chairs include Joanne Heritier, Aaron Walker, Doug Egolf, Jennifer Zartman Romano, Amy Shaw, Maggie Fahl and numerous artists through Passages, Inc. who worked together to create a chair and matching piano bench.
