Introducing the 2022 Furnished for Good Artists
Every year we cannot wait to review artist applications for our Furnished for Good event. This year we had an incredible number of artists apply and our guest curators, Damon Reaves and Lawren Alice, had a difficult time selecting the artists who would be a part of this experience.
All of the artists selected have unique and different styles as well as diverse forms and mediums of art. This year, we expanded the premise so that our artists could choose between transforming a piece of furniture or creating something entirely from scratch. Many artists chose to visit the Philadelphia Furniture Bank. While they were there, they were able to pull inspiration from the very place that helps to create a home for individuals and families who are leaving crisis situations.
