A note from our Executive Director...

 

We are so pleased to announce that in conjunction with Commonwealth Home Design and mural artist Teresa Ahmad, we're bringing a vibrant piece of public art to life that incorporates our open-heart design and raises money for the food-insecure in our community. Introducing the Rustic Love Hearts and Home Mural at 208 Dominion Rd NE, right on the W&OD Trail in the heart of downtown Vienna!


Public art can inspire change, uplift hearts, celebrate community and bring vibrancy to public spaces. It can also attract tourism, raise awareness about social issues and memorialize historical events and time periods. It is our hope that our colorful and vibrant mural will serve as a reminder of how our amazing community came together during the pandemic to help our neighbors in need. We invite all local businesses and community members to sponsor a heart on this historic mural, and continue the circle of giving and kindness on this large-scale fundraiser. Please visit rusticlovemural.com and follow us on Instagram @therusticlovemural for more information and to reserve your heart today.


Thank you so much for your continuing support of our mission!

Founder & Executive Director

Wait! Is the mural already painted? Not yet - this is a beautiful digital rendering of the mural by the talented team at Gimga Design Group. The mural will be painted when the weather conditions are ideal this summer, and we will be soliciting artistic volunteers to help our mural artist complete this striking public art piece. Stay tuned for the call-for-artists, but in the meantime, please consider donating today - reserve a heart for your family or business at rusticlovemural.com to continue generously supporting our core mission.

Special thanks to groups and businesses that have been instrumental in bringing this public art piece to fruition: Commonwealth Home Design, artist Teresa Ahmad, Peggy James and the Vienna Business Association, Gimga Design Group, Lu Cousins and the Vienna Arts Society, the Vienna Board of Architectural Review and the Rustic Love Board of Directors.
