Following a national call by the Institute, 20 artists were selected to create chairs that were inspired by the chosen historic and contemporary Trailblazers.
The chairs they created represent the Trailblazers, their movements, and the impact they had on the world. Click on the artists’ names to learn more about them, the chairs they created, and the Trailblazers that inspired them.
Do you, your classroom, or your group want to make your own chair? We have many resources that lead you through the activity!
And don’t forget to come back to submit photos of your chair for a chance to be featured on the website.
