COMPASS Family and Community Service will host the Peace Chair Project from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 31 at the Soap Gallery, 117 N. Champion St. This is a unique art exhibit with more than 60 chairs to be featured and voted on by attendees. Artists, schools and businesses in the Mahoning Valley designed chairs interpreting their definition of peace.

Refreshments will be served and there will be a chance to learn about the new Sojourner House Domestic Violence Shelter. A minimum $10 donation or bottle of wine to be used at the Chocolate, Wine, Dine & Groove Event is requested for guests over age 18. No advance tickets or reservations are needed.

Chairs will be on display for the evening, and then several will be placed on display at the Butler Institute of American Art. All chairs will be available for viewing again at Chocolate, Wine, Dine & Groove at Stambaugh Auditorium on Sept. 22. All chairs will be auctioned at that event.

All proceeds will benefit the Sojourner House Domestic Violence Program.
