2023 details:
February is here and we want you to show some love to our community this month!! Our 2023 theme for Public Arts Midland is art connects. We believe art brings people together. It gives us common ground. It gives us the way to express ourselves when we create, and see parts of ourselves, reflected in the work of others, letting us know we are not alone. We are all connected. An art can help make that more apparent. Here are two ways to participate in the POP heART project this year!

Make your POP heART sheet as colorful as you like and use the center heart as a place to write what you love about your favorite person, people, or places in our community. Don’t forget to fill out the “to and from” lines, then deliver your creation to brighten someones day!
Before you deliver it, send us a PHOTO of your creation at publicartsmidland@www.midlandfoundation.org OR tag us on Facebook or
Instagram @publicartsmidland, to be part of a larger digital art piece at the end of the project!
Community String heART Project:
Our goal with this POP heART project is to create three collaborative, Community String heART pieces of art that quite literally can connects us all!
We built three large boards with hearts meant for yarn to be wrapped all arounfd them to create this Community String heART project! The first one was completed at Kids Day at the Midland Mall. The second two will be completed in a few art classes in Midland schools. Stay tuned for more photos!
