Amdur Productions’ is proud to continue their partnership with the Chicago Furniture Bank, a non-profit organization that furnishes housing for those who have been homeless. The public is invited to bring their gently used wall art to the fest for donation to the Chicago Furniture Bank. “They’re truly making a difference by distributing art and furnishings to those leaving shelters and moving into permanent housing,” said Amdur. “Art donations from our festival guests will help turn empty spaces into cozy homes.” Donations will be accepted at shows from May to October.
