Chairs for Charity Event By: Katie Funt

This week's blog is all about philanthropy and art! We're showcasing our two upcoming events for Chairs for Charity.

Join us for an evening of amazing art, gourmet cuisine, and charity!
PerLora is holding their first ever, Chairs for Charity Event. 

This exclusive event will showcase beautiful hand painted chairs by 7 local artists.

These functional works of art will be displayed around the city at major venues such as Oxford

Center, USX, Larrimors and the Andy Warhol Museum, prior to our Pre-Party and limited dinner engagement. They will then be auctioned off during the dinner, at PerLora Southside. Proceeds benefit the Warhol children's education, outreach, and collaboration programs.

The Pre-Party will take place at the Warhol Museum on April 19th from 6-8 PM. Light refreshments and appetizers will be served.
