Last year's event was such a huge success, the chairs were amazing, and this is going to be another fabulous event.

If you do not have a chair, we will have extras available ready to paint. If you have more chairs than you can paint and want to donate an extra chair to the event, let us know; cal the Guild office at 508-540-3304.

We are looking for Chair Sponsors: $100 gets your business name on a list and on the chair label at the event AND it gives you a good feeling in your heart to know you are helping support Art in Falmouth!!
