THE CHAIR continues at Cannon Gallery!

The Cannon Art Gallery’s current exhibition “artists showcase: THE CHAIR” closes on December 3, 2022. If you haven’t already, please stop by or revisit this wonderful exhibition. In their work, 16 artists demonstrate that a chair can be more than just a sitting device; it can be a dynamic merging of form and function. Many of the chairs were created specifically for this exhibition from a variety of materials such as wood, ceramics, glass and found objects. Visitors will be delighted, enchanted and inspired.

The Chair is an exhibition of one-of-a-kind chairs. “The chair represents the most sacred meeting of form and function; it’s a piece synonymous with support, the reliable foundation of our everyday lives. And yet the simple chair is in perpetual reinvention mode: it is the unending challenge for the artist and designer.” For this special exhibition, the selected works will range from fully functional examples to pieces of pure art and sculpture.

Artists: Erin Behling, John Cederquist, David Fobes, Paul Henry, Roy Jenuine, Nina Karavasiles, Seth Keller, Adam John Manley, Wendy Maruyama, DeLoss McGraw, Christopher Polentz, Lee Puffer, Cheryl Tall, James Watts, and Gabriel Weise.
