Hearts in
the World aims at the highest involvement of the citizens in this street Art Event which
will beautify a city and to this end runs an exhibition within the exhibition, named
Heart2Hearts, common to all Hearts in the World Exhibitions.
Museums, Institutions, and Cultural and Social Organizations from all over the country
are invited to participate to this project showing their support for events getting the
Art closer to the citizens. Through their inspiration and sense of humour they are invited
to transform a wooden Heart into a work of art (individual artist participation or group
participation of a Museum/Institution) and dedicate it to the Hearts in the World city
event.
For this purpose, Hearts in the World offers to the participants wooden, two
dimensional Hearts (1.25m x 1.30m), which the artists or group of artists will have the
chance to use as a canvas and create a unique piece of art.
These Hearts will be placed inside a gallery style space, i.e. a shopping arcade in the
centre of a city, and after the completion of this street Art Event they are auctioned
alongside the other' fibreglass and metal sculptures of Hearts in the World city. The
local organizers will donate 50% of the Auction proceeds to a local charity.
