The Durango Arts
Center was bustling with art enthusiasts, interior designers
and poor college students looking to redecorate their
new palacial south Durango fixer-upper with something
that could really pull the room together. KDUR's third
annual Furniture as Art auction went off without a hitch
Thursday evening, April 15, as a full house of community-conscious
attendees bid on 20 brightly colored, well-decorated
pieces of furniture. The donated art raised more than
$11,000 for the Fort Lewis College radio station. Maureen
May's Power Chair, one of the most impressive pieces
at the auction, was the night's big winner, raising
over $1,000.
