About Chair Affair
A house becomes a home when you have a table for meals, a bed to tuck your kids into, and a chair to relax in at the end of a long day. Chair Affair celebrates Community Warehouse, a furniture bank serving our neighbors in need. For 2021, it was a virtual affair to remember with unique art, exciting auctions, and inspiring stories from people whose houses have been transformed into homes.

Special Thanks to Our Generous Sponsors
The Children’s Chair Project
Prior to Chair Affair, local artists transform castoff chairs into beautiful, creative works of art. Businesses and individuals are invited to sponsor children’s chairs for $500 each.
The chairs are displayed for Chair Affair guests to view and enjoy. After the event, Community Warehouse staff help select and deliver these artful chairs to the children of families we serve.

Portland Society Page wrote a beautiful article to recount Chair Affair 2020.
Chair Affair is so much fun for me. It really has touched my life in ways I can’t express, but mostly it lends credibility to my struggle to emerge as an artist (art school after 50 ain’t easy). PLUS, it’s all for Community Warehouse and the work that you do is important to our community.”
