East End Community Chair Auction
Bidding Opens July 11
The East End Community Chair Project has transformed Pearl Street’s East End into an open air gallery celebrating local creativity and storytelling for the past three years. This public art installation features a series of handcrafted Adirondack style chairs, each uniquely designed by Colorado artists and inspired by themes of growth, transformation and renewal. Together the works reflect the natural cycles of plant and animal life while adding color and character to the heart of downtown Boulder.
Leading up to Pearl Street Arts Fest, chairs will be featured in the East End Community Chair Auction giving the community an opportunity to take home a piece of this installation. Proceeds help support future public art initiatives and continue bringing creative placemaking projects to downtown Boulder.
