The Waterdown Village Business Improvement Area is inviting local artists to tell the community’s diverse stories on Muskoka chairs for an outdoor art gallery that will enliven the downtown this summer and raise money for good causes.
The Chairing is Caring project will place 20-plus painted chairs outside sponsoring businesses from June 29 to Sept. 15, giving visitors a colourful spot to sit and learn about the many groups that make up Waterdown’s community, the BIA says on its website.
The chairs will be auctioned in September, with proceeds going to local non-profit organizations represented by artists’ interpretations and non-profits supported by sponsors.

The BIA says artists will get a $400 honorarium for one chair and a basic paint kit or small credit toward supplies. Participants should be community-minded, passionate about telling stories through art, and able to follow guidelines to deliver projects on time.
