The Hearts Project: A Third Dimension

After time at the Fayetteville Public Library, “The Hearts Project: A COVID-19 Memorial” is on the move again; this time it will be exhibited at Life Styles Blair Center in Springdale, Arkansas. Joined in concert with the individuals and adults with disabilities served by the center, the 3-piece collection will be integrated within a show highlighting artistic works made in response to prompts about life during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This exhibit adds a new dimension by incorporating new voices rarely heard: those of individuals and adults with disabilities who were shut in during the pandemic. Led by art educators at Life Styles, Joanna Reid, Joelle Storet, and Rosalind Waiwaiole the words and works awaken a variety of experiences integral to composing a comprehensive story about the pandemic. During the four-month stay at Life Styles, Moore will work with the clients and art educators to create a panel that will become part of a future frame devoted to the “shut-in” experience. Reception to open this exhibit will be Thursday, February 20 from 6pm – 8pm at the Blair Center in Springdale. Join us for an evening featuring expressive works of art as a new dimension of The Hearts Project.
