The objective of this project is to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds—from the area and around the world—to have fun with us as we reconnect with and reinvent the heart.

Fiberglass hearts that are 5' tall and 4.5' wide are designed and placed around Loveland. Each heart is individually sponsored and artists work with E.L. Events to come up with designs. A self-guided driving tour of the City with HeART program can be found at www.E-L-Events.org under the City with HeART page.

• Art in Public Places: A community’s greatest gift is the evolving history of its people, their stories, their symbols, and their enduring traditions. This community’s history is cast in bronze, in brilliant pigments, in images on film, in subtle fibers. The people of Loveland have enthusiastically embraced the arts and skillfully woven them into their daily lives, truly making Loveland, A Work of Art. The City’s collection presently encompasses over 300 diverse works of art valued at approximately $7.6 million dollars. Private contributions by arts organizations, citizens and artists, have donated over 72% of the value of the collection, making the City of Loveland unique among other municipalities.
