NORWAY – Save the date for CHAIR-ity July 31, 2009: A very special summer auction of artfully painted chairs by Western Maine artists.

The Western Maine Art Group will hold a gala fundraising event on the evening of July 31 at the Lajos Matolcsy Arts Center at 480 Main Street in Historic Norway Village.

A variety of 100 year-old grange chairs, donated to the WMAG by Suzanne Grover, have been artfully hand-painted by a dozen Western Maine Artists with unique and original designs ranging from flowers and still life, to woodland, animal and water scenes. The chairs will be displayed for preview in the Norway Savings Bank Operation Center Windows for the month July. Fine food and drink will be served and there will also be a silent auction of art and other items.

Tickets cost $25 per person. All proceeds will go toward the operations of the nonprofit WMAG and the maintenance if its gallery and teaching space. FMI: www.TheWMAG.org. westernmaineartgroup@gmail.com or 207-739-6161
