Virtual Chairful Where You Sit - Chairful Where You Sit, a one-day (normally outdoor) art installation and fundraiser for the Arlington Commission for Arts and Culture, traditionally coincides with Porchfest and takes place in a festive gathering at historic Uncle Sam Plaza, in the heart of the Arlington Center Cultural District. Chairfest has been re-envisioned as an online event, to be conducted on the Bidding Owl online auction platform. An auction of artistically transformed chairs and other small furniture items rescued from basements and curbs has supported public art in Arlington since 2012, and saved over 400 chairs from landfill. New this year were including artistically revamped small furniture items like side tables in addition to chairs!
