Danville Officials Seek Sponsors For Hearts Around Hartz Exhibit

DANVILLE, CA – After 16 four-foot hearts were placed across Danville as part of the town’s second annual Hearts Around Hartz public art exhibit, local officials are seeking local residents to sponsor the art installations as a way of promoting the arts.

The goal of the program is to create a temporary outdoor public art exhibit displaying heart sculptures produced by local artists on and around Hartz Avenue. The exhibit is currently on display and will stay up until the middle of October.

The various hearts pay homage to city landscape, trees and other recognizable scenes that are native to Danville. The pieces of art will be auctioned off after the exhibit ends with proceeds going toward future arts endeavors.

The cost to sponsor a heart is $1,000 per piece of art. Town officials said each sponsor will receive:

• A custom placard on base of a heart to include name of sponsor, logo and QR code to sponsor’s business or website
• Logo included on postcard and Town website
• Photo shoot with sponsored heart
• Town will tag in social media when sponsored heart is pictured

Proceeds from one of the hearts will be donated to the American Heart Association. One heart sculpture will be retained by the Town for future use. Those interested in sponsoring a heart can visit www.danville.ca.gov/heartsaroundhartz and download the application form. The form and check should be submitted to:
