Updated on Wednesday, Aug. 1 with additional chairs and locations.

They’re here!

All over town, brightly painted Adirondack chairs are making their debut in front of Needham businesses. Each uniquely designed by a local artist, the chairs are part of the Needham Merchants Association’s efforts to bring more shoppers downtown.

“Most of the chairs are in place—some in windows, some outside during the day and in at night to protect them,” Nancy Wright, owner of Perennial Designs and a member of the NMA, said Monday.

With an original goal of making 20 chairs, the NMA’s “A Chair to Remember” project really caught on—with artists and local businesses and organizations teaming up to decorate and display more than 45 Adirondack chairs throughout the summer.

In addition, three of the chairs—sponsored by the Board of Selectmen, Park and Recreation Department and Needham Community Council—will be on display at Memorial Field after the Needham Exchange Club’s 4th of July Parade on Wednesday.

The chairs will be auctioned off at an event in September, where local residents can see all the finished pieces and meet the artists. Proceeds from the auction will be used for scholarships at Needham High School and town beautification projects.

NMA member Jack McQuillan, co-owner of Taylor’s Stationery, came up with the idea for the Needham project after seeing a similar display in Brandon, VT, while on vacation with his family.

“I thought maybe it would be a fun idea to do in Needham to try to get the community together, and to see if the restaurants and merchants around town could sponsor something like that—and that it might just get Needham 'on the map,' as they say," McQuillan said in April.

Here is a quick guide to the chairs, the artists who designed them and the businesses where you can check them out—unless otherwise specified, the business where the chair is located is the chair's sponsor (sponsors purchased the chairs and donated them to the project):
