Artists also have the option of creating their own unique furniture pieces.
Each item of furniture will be decorated by a local artist and sponsored by a business, organization or individual and will be displayed on the streets, parkways and plazas of Chicago through Oct. 13. The sponsor can keep the artistic furniture after the exhibit or donate it to a charity auction Oct. 20 to be held at the Chicago Theater. Furniture patrons will be listed on plaques mounted on the bases of the objects. The sponsor requests a location and there has to be space on the sidewalk to accommodate it. The furniture will be displayed as a suite if it s sponsored as a suite, the spokesman says.
