Chairs that tell a Story

In October, the University at Albany challenged more than 25 area schools to artistically depict a favorite literary classic on one of the University’s original 1960’s library oak chairs. Two MCS students Katrina Dubay and Aleynah Gardinier accepted the challenge! The two worked diligently to transform the library chair into a magnificent work of art illustrating detailed imagery from Homer’s Greek epic poem The Odyssey. An article about the event can be viewed here.

Our Finished Chair!

The chairs will be Auctioned off October 12, 2012 at the "Chairitable" Auction.
