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.
