The original intention of the show was to have the hearts available as Valentine gifts. So any hearts that at least reach their minimum bid will be available to the winner on Feb. 11, packaged in a gift bag and ready to surprise a fortunate recipient.

Winners may also choose to leave their hearts on display, marked sold, at the Upstairs through the remainder of the show ending March 20.
On Saturday, Feb. 11, there will be an open house for the “Have a Heart” show from 4-6 p.m. at the Upstairs Artspace. Bids will be accepted through last call at 5:30 p.m. that day. Payments by cash and check will be accepted. Light refreshments will be served.
For more information, contact Big Brothers Big Sisters at 828-859-9230 or polk@bbbswnc.org, or the Upstairs Artspace at 828-859-2828.
