The Hearts of Killeen Sculpture Series is an annual juried contest created and coordinated by our Community Art Initiative (CAI) to support local artists and celebrate the hearts and cultures of Killeen. Each year we will select a theme and promote a Call for Submissions for art reflecting that theme to adorn a heart sculpture created locally by CAI member, Perry Draper (owner of the Art and More Store). Each year, the winning art and sculpture will be unveiled at the annual Celebrate Killeen festival.
Please contact [email protected] with any questions, and thank you for helping us CELEBRATE ART & CELEBRATE KILLEEN!!!!
Our Community Art Initiative and the Hearts 💗of Killeen Sculpture Series are made possible through funding from the City of Killeen and the National Endowment for the Arts, Creative Forces Division.
