On Saturday, February 6th La Peña presents “Toma Mi Corazon”, the annual silent art auction fundraiser. It is La Peña’s signature event that will be taking place at their gallery space at 227 Congress in Downtown Austin. The event begins at 4:30 pm with a preview party featuring live music from Pati McLean and Crash! Bam! Boom!, food, and drinks followed by the silent auction at 6:00 pm. Admission to the preview party is $10, which includes admission to the silent auction. Admission to the silent auction only is $5.
For eighteen years La Peña has invited everyone to “Take My Heart” as hundreds of wooden hearts given out and decorated by artists, children, and many others. Then they are sold in a silent auction where the proceeds from the heart sales are used help support La Peña’s arts and educational programming. Toma Mi Corazón is not only people’s chance to help support La Peña but also own some unique, original artwork. Many hearts are currently on display at La Peña’s gallery and more will continue to come in as the auction approaches.
During the preview party don’t miss the chance to hear the unparalleled sound in an unforgettable SÚPER CALIENTE GROOVE that only Pati Ayala-McLean and her band Pati McLean and Crash! Bam! Boom! can deliver. They have a fusion of personal preferences, styles and creativity, resulting in music that’s as rich as it is refreshing for people of all ages and cultures.
