Hometown Hero is currently in the Top 25 for Time Based in early voting! Round One of the voting ends Saturday evening.
Visitors are so excited to interact with the work. So many people are thanking me for the opportunity to celebrate their heroes. It is fun to watch the smiles and hugs within the crowd as people discover each other’s heroes! Tears too!
Unspoken conversations. Laughter. Silence. Remembrance. Tributes. Joy. Sadness. Contemplation. Tears from veterans. Heroes from Vietnam. Grandfathers recognized. Thousands of heroes are being celebrated.
Pamela was interviewed again this year on Shelley Irwin’s Morning Show to discuss her Hometown Hero ArtPrize Seven project.
On Saturday, WOOD TV 8 featured the Hometown Hero exhibit at ArtPrize Seven.
Celebrate the Hometown Hero Western Burger at Brann’s Steakhouse and Grill. Brann’s is proud to support the Hometown Hero installation during ArtPrize Seven.
