CHAIR AFFAIR ARTISTS
Every spring, Community Warehouse hosts its annual Chair Affair event to raise critical mission funds.
At the heart of the event are brilliant, one-of-a-kind Children’s Chairs created by local artists.
We are currently looking for Portland area artists to volunteer to create a Children’s Chair for Chair Affair 2023! Please see details below. You can email us with questions anytime or call 971.865.5284.
How does the Children’s Chair Project work?
Community Warehouse collects used donated children’s chairs and distributes them to local artists. The artists then transform the chairs into unique, joyful pieces of functional art for children.
The chairs go on to be displayed at our Chair Affair fundraising event and sponsored by supporters, raising critical funds for Community Warehouse’s mission.
After Chair Affair, the Children’s Chairs return to our furniture banks where they are picked out by children who visit Community Warehouse with their family to receive services.Â

If these photos don’t make you smile, we’re not sure what will 🙂 Check out this wonderful gallery of images that capture children who took a small break (while picking out essential furnishings with their families) to select a very special, handcrafted chair to take home. What a surprise, and a delight!
