In the 1900s the Dwelle family Valentine’s Day was celebrated with stunning gowns, champagne, elegance presented to the eye, lusciously delicious tastings and most importantly a “Game of Hearts.”

Susan Olivari, the owner of The Art House Gallery & Studio and owner of the former Dwelle Heights home in Saluda will create a flashback to this time.

We’ve put a new twist on this old favorite with a reminiscent game that will make you “Dart for a Heart.” You might be lucky enough to steal away your own painted heart. With support from the children at the Boys and Girls Club, their extraordinary paintings will be displayed in the main gallery for you to take home.

Along with the children’s heart paintings, local artists will provide artwork for a silent auction that is inspired by their own true love. Also, on display will be new works by an artist of true heart, Veronika Hart.

Your ticket will purchase a painting from the students, a night of games, Kir Royale and wine, decadent hors d’oeuvres and a delectable full dinner menu.

This event will help you give back to the community and will benefit The Boys and Girls Club & the American Heart Association. Please join us from 6-8:30 p.m. on Valentine’s Day, February 14, for a romantic evening. Price for this event will be $58 per person. Seating is limited. RSVP by calling (828) 595-9500 or (828) 808-3594.
