Hearts United via Second Sight Studio in Franklinton

vday

Second Sight Studio wants to bring together the community of Franklinton and Columbus this Valentine’s Day through heart art!

Interested participants are invited to create heart-shaped or heart-themed hearts on cardboard, cloth, plastic, and any other element-withstanding materials, and bring it to the lot at Bellows End (across from Second Sight Studios in Franklinton) to be hung and displayed along the chain-link fences of the schoolyard. Viewers can stroll the fences of hearts and enjoy the art, and refreshments will be served in the gallery.

This project is part of the global observance of One Billion Rising’s “V-Day,” a movement to draw attention to the need to end to violence against women. Last year, there were over 100 Columbus artist participants from elementary-school age all the way through adults. This year, “Hearts United” is two cities strong, with a concurrent happening at House Tremont, an alternative art space in Cleveland.

The Hearts United for One Billion Rising is an open-participation temporary public “exhibition” and will be on display Feb. 14 through 15. Hanging will take place Feb. 14th from 11 am to 2 pm. Take-down begins at 3 PM on Sunday, Feb. 15.

Participants are asked to register by contacting Mona Gazala at Second Sight Studio, so that your works may be acknowledged!
