Creativity holds the power to inspire, heal, and transform lives. Through Art 4 Heart, high school artists across our region unite their artistic talents with heart health awareness, creating a unique exhibition that touches hearts and minds. This annual celebration during Heart Month showcases the remarkable ways young artists interpret and express the importance of cardiovascular wellness.
Your artistic vision—whether through painting, sculpture, digital art, or any other medium—can spark meaningful conversations about heart health in our community. Each piece tells a story, shares a perspective, and contributes to a greater understanding of how heart wellness shapes our lives.
Join us at The Majestic in downtown Kankakee, where selected works will shine in a professional gallery setting. An experienced juror will award ribbons and prizes to outstanding pieces that exemplify both artistic excellence and heart health advocacy. Featured artists can share their achievements at our evening reception, complete with interactive exhibits, light refreshments, and inspiring conversations about art and wellness.
