Created by American Office and sponsored by SLA’s SitOnIt Seating, Maharam, and the Garayta Group, The Modern Classic was a design competition for local architects and designers. Participants submitted “design ideas” for an Eames plastic armchair, and the designs that were chosen were given the opportunity to transfer them to the actual chair itself. Best of all, it ended with a silent auction of the chairs at the University of Baltimore’s Student Center, with all the proceeds going to Art With A Heart.
Art with a Heart’s mission is to enhance the lives of people in need through visual art.
Art with a Heart brings its visual art programs to abused, neglected and abandoned children; homeless people; battered women and their children; pregnant adolescents; mentally and physically disabled adults; low-income senior citizens; elementary, middle, and high school students; youth in after-school programs; and children receiving long-term health care.
Through Art with a Heart’s decade of community presence, Baltimore’s underserved children, youth, and adults have access to positive and productive programming, caring and nurturing adults on a consistent basis, and the chance to embrace new ideas and skills in a safe and structured environment.
