Valentines go 3D - with an added Latin inspiration - when the Chicano Humanities and Arts Council hosts its annual fundraiser, Milagros del Corazon, a laid-back evening of classical guitar music, snacks, drinks and bidding scheduled this year for Friday, February 13. But the event's lifeblood must circulate through your hands - and those of other artists and community members - before it ever even happens.

CHAC's put out the call for creative folks to drop by the gallery, 772 Santa Fe Drive, during regular business hours and pick up a pre-made, blank wooden heart to decorate as a silent auction donation for the main event, for a minimal fee of $2. What you do with it once it's in your hot little hands is completely up to you: The only rule is that you return it, fully decorated in the medium of your choice, between noon and 4 p.m. on February 7.

Get your own corazon and pump it up: Admission to the upcoming party and auction is $7 (or $12 per lovin' couple), but if you donate a heart, you'll receive a free ticket just for your time and trouble; for more information visit www.chacweb.org or call 303-571-0440.

KEEP WESTWORD FREE... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" program, allowing us to keep offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food and culture with no paywalls.

Make a one-time donation today for as little as $1.

Susan Froyd started writing for Westword as the "Thrills" editor in 1992 and never quite left the fold. These days she still freelances for the paper in addition to walking her dogs, enjoying cheap ethnic food and reading voraciously. Sometimes she writes poetry.
