I could not hold back my tears. Thank you so much for creating a work of art that we could all be a part of and leave our mark on… Pedro
Good art evokes emotion…you have done just that with your piece of work. Thank you. Lee Ann
All your ArPrize exhibits are the same. You believe in the value of people. Whoever they are. Whatever they have done.
One of my grand-girls favorites! Kris
Yesterday was the beginning of week two for ArtPrize Seven. More happy conversations, tears, and stories at Hometown Hero! Guests are very excited to sign the painting with names of their heroes. Conversations between parents and their children. Whispers between couples. Lots of smiles!
Here are just a few of the thousands of messages added to the Hometown Hero painting:
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.
