jorge-arrieta-chair-paintingCheck out my painting for the 14th Annual Art Auction benefiting Kids on the Block for this Thursday night. Chair-ish is an auction of chairs and other types of artwork with a chair theme.

Kids on the Block is a youth development, non profit organization that travels throughout Middle Tennessee educating children and adults on tough issues using the ancient form of Bunraku puppetry.

These puppets are cool and the wonderful people that handle them do absolutely incredible work! I encourage anyone who is available to go or to check out the Stars Nashville website for more information. Kids On The Block serves about 40,000 children in Middle Tennessee and helps kids cope with bullying, child abuse, prejudice, divorce and other issues.
