RUTLAND — The heARTs of Rutland! community street-art project began as an idea of local artists to bring attention to the people, places and businesses in Rutland and our region. The project was officially recongnized by the Mayor of Rutland at a recent Board of Alderman meeting in city hall. After the Tropical Storm Irene disaster, heARTS! evolved into a community street art project to showcase how the local community comes together. The project also celebrates local residents and their pride in the region. The street-arts effort will kick off with a series of talented local artists who will paint oversized hearts that will be unveiled later this spring. The ‘hearts’ will be on display in Rutland and around the region from late spring through fall. In fall, there will be a live auction of the hearts. Profits will benefit victims of disaster in the Rutland Region and children’s art education. The street-art project is a community
partnership organized under the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Southern Vermont with support from the Downtown Rutland Partnership, Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce, and Rutland Economic Development Corporation.
