The 2013 Art Reach Chair Affair entries were judged from
noon to 1 pm on July 26, 2013. The judges were Nichole Sanders, Roxanne
Schultz, and Rose Wunderbaum Traines. The on-and-off rain did not deter them
from examining each of the 45 entries.
There were prizes if $100 for First place, $75 for Second,
and $50 for Third in each of two categories: Chairs and benches painted by
community artists; Chairs and benches painted by art educators and their students.
Among community artists, First place went to Wendi
Johnson. Her host was Northwest Mutual. Second place went to Terry Blodgett,
hosted by Trillium. Jan Weston took Third, hosted by Crème de la Crème.
First place for art educators went to Mt. Pleasant High
School, hosted by Commercial Bank. Renaissance Academy took Second, hosted by
The Plate Boutique, and Joslin Clous took Third, hosted by Total Eclipse.
