We are grateful to the many people and organizations who helped protect Calistoga and Calistogans from fire, and who helped us get back on our feet! We're creating paintings to thanks them, and to recognize their heroism, their commitment, their caring, and their kindness.

Estamos agradecidos con las muchas personas y organizaciones que ayudaron a proteger a Calistoga y a sus ciudadanos del incendio, y a esos que también ayudaron a que nos recuperáramos. Estamos creando pinturas para agradecerles a todos ellos y para reconocer su heroísmo y bondad.

Thursday, March 30, 2017 — Putting up Tree Heart Art on Lincoln Avenue in Calistoga! — 2:00 PM
We'll meet in front of Silverado Ace Hardware, on Lincoln Avenue. Bring a friend — and a six-foot ladder, if you have one!

​(The Heart Art at St. Helena Elementary School went up last week, and looks great! I'll share the photos soon.)

Saturday, March 18, 2017 — Our Big Finale Make-a-Heart Day! — at the Calistoga Art Center, 1435 North Oak Street, Calistoga 
Noon to 5 PM (There will be snacks, but you're welcome to bring your lunch if you like.)

​Come join us for our Big Finale Make-a-Heart Day, as we get the Heart Art ready to go up in both Calistoga and St. Helena! We'll be assembling all the parts, so they'll be ready to go up.

One of the projects is to finish putting together the Tree Heart Art installations that will grace the trees all along downtown Calistoga. The second project is to put together the Heart Art created by students of St. Helena Elementary School, which will beautify the auditorium and its entrance for the school's music program concert (where the whole concert is centered around the theme of love, kindness, compassion, and friendship).  

​Materials will be provided. Snacks, coffee, and tea will be here for you, too — but you're welcome to bring along lunch and anything else you may want to munch on while you're here. If you have jewelry-making tools for beading, especially long-nose pliers or crimping tools, bring them along!

Hearts Across the Valley began in 2017 as a community-based public art project in Napa Valley, California, created by artist and art teacher Karen Lynn Ingalls. It is intended to spread love across the valley, and beyond, using the power of Art. Ultimately, hundreds of people will be involved in its creations, and the installations and other artwork created will be seen by valley residents, visitors, and recipients.
