Gateway Technical College’s Interior Design student organization’s 13th Annual Chair-ity Auction will feature a live auction of one-of-kind, student-designed chairs Nov. 20 at the Kenosha Country Club, 500 13th Ave., Kenosha.
The event begins at 6 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction of home décor and gift certificates from area businesses. The student-designed chairs will be auctioned live beginning at 7 p.m.
Students acquire chairs from thrift stores, rummage sales, friends and family, and give them new life and use. They reupholster, paint, decoupage, stencil and adorn the chairs until they look much different than they did when new. They are then themed and named before being auctioned.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Homeless Assistance Leadership Organization Inc., as well as to support the Gateway Technical College Interior Design student club in advanced learning opportunities.
Tickets are available at the event, $20 for general admission, $10 for American Society of Interior Designers members and Gateway students with their student identification.
