Youth launches ‘Chair-ity' Auction
100 youth created art chairs up for online auction
in aid of charity
Singapore, 29 January 2007 – 100 Chairs transformed into works of art by 100 youths will be up for auction starting 3 February 2007, 2pm at *scape Youth Park.
Fully run and led by youth with the support of Young Changemakers and *scape, the 100 Chairs project kicked off on 21 January 2007, with one hundred youth artists gathering to create one hundred collectible pieces of art from one hundred wooden chairs.
Twenty of these art pieces have been selected to give the public the opportunity to bid for them on Saturday. The rest of the pieces will be displayed at the *scape Youth Park while the bidding continues online. Proceeds will be donated to the Singapore Children's Society.
As part of the celebration, a day of exciting performances by youth groups and bands has been planned. You and your photographer/TV crew are invited to join us at the launch concert party.
Present at the event will be the organisers, *scape representatives, and youth members of the public.
