The 17th Works of Heart Valentine Auction

Works of Heart Auction Works for Kids

(Memphis, TN) The 17th Works of Heart Valentine Auction on February 7 promises to inspire and entertain everyone who attends. With Kym Clark of Action News 5 as emcee, and remarkable works of art to bid on, 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 17 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, Valerie Berlin, 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 7, 2009 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, February 2-6. Contact Laura Terry or lterry@memphiscac.org for more information or to purchase advance tickets.
