A conceptual drawing of the mural may be found on this website.

Artists are asked to submit heart-themed auction items for the cause. Although individuals and businesses may submit any auction items they wish, artists are encouraged to produce original heart-themed works to be auctioned.

All original heart-themed art for the auction should include on 3” X 5” index cards the artist’s name, contact information and a brief interpretation of their art (or) resume. The Hunt County Public Art Foundation may utilize copies of the submission and/or information to further public art and promote artists for our region.
