About the Small Art Objects Silent Auction

The event is in conjunction with the Fete Picasso (July 21, 2007 - in Vallauris, France) and includes a competition, exhibition and sale of Small Art Objects. This benefit event will take place annually with the same format but with a different object theme. This year's theme: The object must be able to accommodate, integrate or make use of a standard tea-light candle.
