Reserve a Seat Fundraiser
Attracts Artists of All Ages
An array of colorful and highly decorative chairs will welcome art students to Highlands Art League’s newly renovated Visual Art Center at The Village complex in Sebring.
"Reserve a Seat" is the name chosen for the Highlands Art League fundraiser that took place on Labor Day. For a donation of $100.00 each business, family or individual painted a chair with themes from beautiful stenciled flowers to wildly colored abstracts.
Over the past several years, the Highlands Art League has been restoring the three buildings at “The Village” leased to HAL by the city of Sebring, with painting, rewiring, plumbing, and general overhauling that goes with maintaining historic buildings. The proceeds from this event will help fund the renovations.
Each donor, or group of donors painted their chair, transforming ordinary metal chair into one-of-a-kind pieces of extraordinary art work. Artists from the Art League painted chairs for those who did not want to paint their own. These chairs will be used daily by art students and for special events at The Visual Art Center.
The League has had many requests for another painting day from others that want to participate. The second Reserve a Seat painting day will be held on Saturday, September 13, 2008, from 9am until 2pm. Chairs will be primed and ready to paint, all supplies provided by HAL. Call Highlands Art League at 385-5312 to reserve your chair and join us for a day of fun, food, and art. Or simply stop by the Visual Art Center at 1985 Lakeview Dr. (behind the Yellow House next to the Sebring Library) and pay at the door.
