Greetings!

Show your art in Works’ first ever “Anti-Valentine” exhibition and auction!

Show your love for Works, your community art and performance center,
by placing your art in our Valentine event opening First Friday
February 5.

How it Works:
We ask that artwork be accessible in size and price: please keep art
within 12×12 inches for wall pieces or a 12×12 inch footprint for
sculptural work. All work should be ready to hang or stand. Multiple
pieces are acceptable.

Themes: What inspires you about Valentine’s Day: hearts and flowers,
broken hearts and dead flowers? Works wants to show a full range of
feelings about Valentine’s Day.

All artwork will be available for bid at the silent auction at a
starting bid of 20 dollars with minimum bid increments of 5 dollars.
Bidders who want to buy a piece outright must meet the “Buy It Now”
(retail) price set by the artist—recommended between $50 and $300.
Artists can elect to receive up to 50 percent of the purchase price or
can donate all proceeds to Works. Artists whose artwork generates
proceeds for Works at or above the basic membership price of $35 will
be rewarded with a complimentary membership.

Please bring your artwork to Works, 451 South 1st Street, San José, CA
95113, on one of the following dates:

Thursday, January 28, 12-4 p.m.
