Christmas is behind us and many are focused on the next important shopping holiday, Valentine’s Day. Finding the one special gift that says “I Love You” can be a struggle, especially for those who want to say it in style! Once again the Fine Arts and Crafts Entrepreneurs (FAACE) group is doing its part to help solve the annual dilemma by sponsoring the 3rd Annual Art with Heart Fine Arts and Crafts Show in Peachtree City.

Over 20 quality artists will be showcasing their one-of-a-kind works of art and fine craft at Art With Heart February 1st and 2nd. Shoppers and guests will find original fine paintings, pottery, jewelry, stained glass, fiber art and more at the show --- a perfect mix of gifts for Valentine’s Day plus a great selection of art for the home, garden or office.

The public is invited to the opening reception on Friday evening. Food, beverages, music and art are on the agenda during the drop-in reception from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. Saturday the show is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

A small number of spaces are still available for quality artists who would like to participate. The deadline for application receipt is January 16th. Applications are available at www.FAACE.org or via email to info@faace.org.

Art with Heart will benefit The Children’s Village at Christian City through voluntary donations from artists and attendees and a silent art auction. Christian City has been caring for abandoned and abused children in a family centered residential setting since 1965. Over 1,000 children have called Christian City “home.” If you would like to learn more about The Children’s Village or how to sponsor a child, please call Heidi Becker at 770-703-2636 or visit www.christiancity.org.

Art With Heart will be held at St. Andrews in the Pines Episcopal Church, 316 Peachtree Parkway, Peachtree City, GA 30269. For more information, please call Janet McGregor Dunn at 404-290-3638, email Noel at noelmer7@yahoo.com or visit the FAACE website at www.FAACE.org.
