CWOCA is organizing a cardboard chair showing for Earth Day, April 22nd. We plan to have both a Southern California and Northern California Event. One to be held in Ventura at the Bell Arts Factory and the other in the Mission of San Francisco with a location to later be announced.

We are currently drawing up sponsors to support our event to provide the most unique and artistic with a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place stipends.

Your creation will also be up for sell or auction with a minimum bid of $150. We will work out the details for sales as it progresses and receive opinions from the artists and designers.
