Art and the Adirondack Chair

Online bidding for your own Adirondack chair closes tomorrow at 3pm! Art and the Adirondack Chairs,” presented by CCAC, in partnership with Allegany State Park is a fundraiser featuring hand-crafted adult and children’s Adirondack chairs transformed into works of art by CCAC artists. The chairs have been on display at the park all summer, but can still be viewed and bid on at CCAC’s website, www.myartscouncil.net. Bids begin at only $50! All proceeds from the auction will benefit future CCAC arts programming at Allegany State Park. The chairs will then be auctioned at  the 3rd Annual Full Moon Beach Party, tomorrow, August 14 from 6-10pm. The highest bid for each chair at 3pm tomorrow will determine the starting bid at the silent auction. Shortly before the auction begins, we’ll contact all the highest bidders and offer to place bids for them at the event if they can’t make it. For more information, or to place your online bid, click here.  The 3rd Annual Full Moon Family Beach Party, tomorrow, August 14 from 6-10pm is FREE and is a relaxing, family-oriented, musical, art-filled evening. Bring your picnics and your family to Red House Beach at 6pm to enjoy the natural beauty of the park and performances by Allegany State Park's artist-in-residence, Kevin McCarthy, Olean's Blues Brothers, free face painting, kids crafts, a limbo contest, juggling, balloon animals, a beach campfire, and best of all, the chance to take home your very own Adirondack Chair. No time to make a picnic? No problem...the concession stand will be open until 9pm.  This event is supported in part by National Fuel.

All  proceeds benefit future CCAC programming at Allegany State Park. The wood used for these chairs were donated by Fitzpatrick &Weller and Home Depo, and the chairs were constructed by students in the Carpentry and Building Maintenance classes at Collins Correctional Facility. Support for the Full Moon Beach Party and 2009 arts programming (now being scheduled) is provided by National Fuel.
