The students in Lakewood's Lincoln Elementary School Discovery Program has spent the past year studying art and great artists. The year-long unit culminates in a few weeks with their biennial "Chairs that Care Auction."
The kids each picked an artist and then painted a reproduction of a painting by that artist on a chair. These chairs -- which are pretty darn awesome considering they are painted by 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th graders -- will be auctioned off to the public on June 7 on the front lawn of the school, 15615 Clifton Blvd.
Preview begins at 10:30 a.m. Bidding starts at 11:30. Refreshments will be available.
All proceeds from the event go to the Cleveland Foodbank. Two years ago, the school raised nearly $12,000 through this event.
