Milagros del Corazón
For public safety, CHAC has decided to post-pone "Milagros del Corazón" Miracles of the Heart Fundraiser for CHAC until May 1st from 5-9PM at Los Amigos Kitchen (https://losamigoskitchen.com) as this event involves food and beverage. Artists are still encouraged to create hand-crafted hearts, and with more time we are excited to allow for even more beautiful hearts to be made. 

Interested in creating a hand-crafted heart(s) for the auction? 
Contact eventcoordinator@chacgallery.org for information. CHAC will provide you with a blank wooden heart, for a donation of $5.00 to cover supplies, which you will then turn into one of your magnificent masterpieces!
