He(art)s ❤️ at Virginia Highlands Park
Volunteers have created a temporary, impromptu art display that uses rainbow colors in heart symbols to honor the front-line workers and our community who continue to fight the pandemic. The hearts are placed at approximately 12ft apart allowing for people to sit and enjoy their own space while others can walk in between the hearts. Temporary, chalk-based paint was used to create the social distancing hearts painted on the ground.
