This Traveling Art Project celebrated LOVE and the power, resilience, and joy within underrepresented communities across New York City. Through collaborative art-making, storytelling, and shared experiences, we created moments of LOVE that connected neighborhoods, uplifted voices, and honored the beauty of our collective identity.
Across 5 locations, we shared nearly 500 wooden hearts with new friends of all ages and abilities. Each heart carried a story — some became part of a growing, collective artwork, while others were gifted as tokens of care, friendship, and connection.
From family portraits to celebrations of self-love and community bonds, the creations were nothing short of magical.
