The 18th Works of Heart Valentine Auction


The 18th Works of Heart Valentine Auction on February 13th promises to inspire and entertain everyone who attends. With Joe Birch of Action News 5 as emcee, and remarkable works of art to bid on during the silent auction, Works of Heart is a great party. And it all benefits the Child Advocacy Center.
The heart-themed artwork is created by over 100 accomplished and emerging regional artists. For 18 years, more than 100 “Heartists” are given a plain piece of heart-shaped wood as inspiration to create a work of art. The results are inventive and awe-inspiring. Artists include Dolph Smith, John McIntire, George Hunt, Freida Hamm, David Mah, and John Robinette. Proceeds help provide child-friendly intervention for children who have been sexually abused or severely physically abused.
The event will be held on Saturday, February 13, 2010 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Memphis College of Art. Tickets are $50 and include complimentary wine, beer, and appetizers. The Works of Heart pieces will be on display to the public during the week prior to the auction, February8 -12.
