Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to show your love than with a gift that gives back? Whether you’re looking for a handmade gift for your partner, parent, or particular platonic pal, the Hearts for the Arts auction is the perfect place to find a one-of-a-kind gift that carries a sweetheart of a story.
Join us February 1st through 13th, for the 16th Annual Hearts for the Arts Silent Auction, hosted by Artisans & Agency and brought to life by donations from dozens of local artists.
Give Love, Support Arts Education
