Lafayette, Ind. (WLFI) - The Greater Lafayette Art Museum is continuing the community art projects, with a little " chair-ity."

This year, the community was asked to paint chairs and donate them to the museum.

A variety of chairs were created by everyone from kids to professional artists, giving each chair a unique style.

Chairs are currently on display at the art museum and are up for auction online.

"I think there are a lot of chairs that are fun," museum volunteer Lorie Amick said. "There's chairs that have different themes so there's something for everybody. You end up with a really great piece of art in your home, and the money goes to support the art museum and the art museum's operations."

The auction continues online until September 14, with a live auction on September 15.
