The nineteenth annual Art from the Heart silent art auction and party at the University Art Gallery is set for Saturday, Feb. 8 from 6 to 9 p.m. Proceeds from the auction directly benefit the Art Gallery's exhibition, publication, and lecture programs.
There will be a free preview of the artwork from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 11a.m.-4 p.m., on Thursday, Feb. 6 and from 11 a.m. -8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7.
As always, the Art from the Heart auction will be an exciting evening of art, music, food and fine wine that has become one of the oldest continually-held fundraising events in the area and a "must" for novice and seasoned collectors alike. Art from the Heart features modestly priced works of art and other items, such as stays at local inns and hotels, theatre and museum tickets, and bottles of wine, that are sold during a silent auction.
This year more than 150 artists from Sonoma County and across the United States have created original works of art especially for Art from the Heart, including Chester Arnold, Sally Baker, Mary Black, Aryan Chappell, Deborah Colotti, Lowell Darling, Robert Ellison, Cynthia Hipkiss, Bob Hudson, Tony King, Judith Linhares, Monty Monty, Sylvia Seventy, Richard Shaw, Marg Starbuck, Jack Stuppin, John Watrous, William T. Wiley, and Sam Woolcott, among many others.
Delicious food and wine will be served, and a $15 donation is suggested at the door. For more information, please call the University Art Gallery at (707) 664-2295.
