🎉 Heartoscope TURNS 5 TODAY! 🎨✨

Five years ago, we planted a vision rooted in creativity, healing, and equity. Today, we celebrate a movement that has touched thousands and transformed heARTs across Greenville—and beyond! Look at some of the things WE did together:

🔸 Produced an award-winning PSA that gained international recognition
🔸 Served 3,000+ children with arts-based healing
🔸 Installed a public art refrigerator at an underserved elementary school—combining nourishment with creativity and care
🔸 Hosted 5 successful "HeART of the City" Arts Festivals
🔸 Led 5 seasons of HeART Exchange weekends
🔸 Installed community murals in West Greenville
🔸 Hosted 3 powerful Back-to-School w/ Greenville Kappas
🔸Hosted 3 successful Christmas Giveaways
🔸 Provided Therapeutic Art classes to youth at Pitt Academy
🔸 Curated 3 HeART Exhibits where students kept 100% of their proceeds, supporting local economic growth
🔸Awarded ART Scholarships to students in need

This isn’t just about art—it’s about showing up for our people, building with love, and creating from the heART.

To every volunteer, parent, donor, artist, and supporter—you are the real masterpiece. Thank you.

Here’s to the next five years of bold beauty and community power.

Still soaking it all in…
HeART of the City Vol. 5 was nothing short of amazing. Five years of laughter, love, art, and community — and with over 400 attendees, this year was the most powerful yet. 🥹

We are so incredibly grateful to every performer, vendor, volunteer, family, and friend who poured into this space and helped make it what it was. It’s humbling to know that what started as a vision has grown into a tradition that continues to uplift, inspire, and celebrate the soul of this city.

Thank you for showing up, year after year — for reminding us that when we center community, we create magic.

Here’s to five years of HeART… and the next five still to come. 🫶🏾
