New Art Group Hosts Charity Art Show February 5, 2011

Skip the roses and chocolate this year - choose a one-of-a-kind work of art or fine craft for your sweetheart and give to a worthy cause at the same time. Join members of Fine Arts And Crafts Entrepreneurs (FAACE) on Saturday, February 5th from 10am-4pm, when “Art With Heart” debuts in downtown Fayetteville.

Members and friends of FAACE will showcase paintings, pottery, jewelry, and fiber art – a perfect mix of gifts for Valentine’s Day. The show will benefit The Children’s Village at Christian City through donations at the door.

FAACE is a new art group focusing on the ‘business of art’. Janet McGregor Dunn, Susan Norton, Kathy Schultz, Vicki Turner, Angela White, and Claudia Wood began the group late last year with the idea of helping fellow artists become more successful. In addition to hosting shows and providing art venue information for members, FAACE will hold informative meetings designed to foster better business practices and growth. The group meets the first Tuesday of each month at the Towne Club Center in Peachtree City. Fine artists and crafters in the Southern Crescent area are welcome. Membership details can be found on the FAACE website, www.FAACE.org.

“Art With Heart” will be held at the Harvest Community Center, 383 Fayetteville Place, Hwy 85, Fayetteville, 30214. Harvest Community Center is located in the original, now closed, Fayetteville Theater, just north of the Courthouse on Glynn St. (Hwy. 85) in Fayetteville, directly behind La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant. For more information, please call Janet McGregor Dunn at 404-290-3638 or visit the FAACE website at www.FAACE.org.
