The 17th annual Chair-ries Jubilee: “Chair-rie Pickers” will raise money for arts in education on Friday at the Museum Center at 5ive Points, beginning with a silent auction and social hour at 6 p.m.
Chair-ries Jubilee is a project of the Allied Arts Council of the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce and is one way the council serves as an arts education advocate and a means for promoting local artists.
“Each year we invite the support of corporate sponsors and individuals who want to assist in bringing arts-related programs to area schools and promoting arts education,” Nancy Casson, event co-chair, said. “Sponsorships have allowed us to showcase the artwork of a variety of talented artists throughout our community while raising more than $350,000 since the first Chair-ries Jubilee 17 years ago.
“Each year we put the money raised right back into our school arts programs—public and private—through teacher grants and visiting artists. We deeply appreciate the generous sponsorship support we have received this year. We encourage you to thank them for their interest in the arts and to support them with your business.”
