The North Olympic Library Foundation invites local artists to “take a seat for the library.” The foundation’s 2017 FUNraiser will auction creatively redecorated library chairs; artists’ proposals are now being accepted.

Twenty sturdy children’s chairs, no longer needed by the library, await transformation to new looks — and ultimately, new homes. Artists are invited to submit design proposals to re-decorate one or more of these little chairs. Completed Art Seats will be displayed in library locations around Clallam County this summer and auctioned at NOLS’ fun, family friendly “Art Blastapalooza” event, held in the “living room” of the Port Angeles Library on Sept. 15.

Samples of the wooden chairs, and complete project details, can be viewed at any NOLS library or online at www.northolympiclibraryfoundation.org. Artists may elect to decorate more than one chair. All artistic mediums will be considered, but finished chairs must retain their usability as seating.

To submit an artist’s proposal for the Art Seat project, send a description of your proposal for decorating a chair or chairs to ninacpitts@gmail.com. Proposals also can be mailed to the North Olympic Library Foundation, Attn: Nina Pitts/Art Seat, 2210 S. Peabody St., Port Angeles, WA 98362. Proposals should be as descriptive as possible and include the artist’s contact information. Sketches are encouraged.
