Chairs For Charity

Looking for inspiration on what to paint for the up-and-coming series for these Charity Chairs. Any suggestions? ☺️

Day three/three of workshop:

We ended our 3-day painting workshop with a great bunch of friends and visitors of at Gardens by the Bay today! The chairs painted were of outstanding quality, and we had participation from people of all walks of life/ age/ nationality.

We learnt that giving has no boundaries and are humbled by the interest and support we see today.

A big thank you and a very merry christmas to all. Please look out for our next charity-art event, we hope you can join us in another round of meaningful fun then!

Day two/three of workshop:

Another great day of painting these adorable mini chairs with friends and visitors of at Gardens by the Bay. The interest and support we received today was also heart-warming and we simply had a lot of fun!

We’ll be running this free workshop for one last day, we hope you can join us!

Dear Supporters of Chairs for Charity and Make-A-Wish,
Thank you so very much for coming together to support Make-A-Wish through the Chairs for Charity auction. Every stool purchased will help in granting the one true wish of a child with a life-threatening medical condition in China in the coming years. Your donations are truly inspirational and I look forward to Make-A-Wish China having wonderful supporters like you. Thank you again!

Dear supporters of Make-A-Wish!

We were honoured to receive the donations you made at Phyllis’ and Siem’s farewell party in Shanghai, for the beautiful artwork stools made by the Bierman couple. Jon and I were especially thrilled to receive the Make-A-Wish stool in May this year, during our visit in Shanghai.

On behalf of Make-A-Wish International, thank you so much for your commitment to our cause - we are privileged to count you amongst our friends.
