But wait, there's more!

Before we built the display panels you'll see around town, Hudson High School National Art Honor Society students used them to create a set of giant hawk wings as a nod to the school's mascot. Over the course of a school day, they used more than 1200 hearts to construct the wings on white sheets for contrast.

We hope to eventually have this image printed as a large banner you can take pictures in front of somewhere downtown!

And the last set of panels is headed to the Historical Society Museum in the Landing at Hudson Mills! They'll be outside the museum in the hallway so you can visit them at any time the building is open.

One set of panels is headed for the senior center, where so many of the hearts were created!

Another set of panels is headed to the Hudson Public Library!

One set of panels didn't have to travel very far: they'll be displayed in Town Hall, right where they were built!

You may have seen all of our heart panels on display at ArtsFest, or maybe you saw two at Hudson High School during the Town Meeting. But what's next for all of the hearts you helped us create? You already know there are two panels at the high school because we just gave it away, but any guesses where else they're headed?

Want to see what the Hudson community has in their hearts? Come find us outside Town Hall on Saturday, May 3 from 1-5pm at Discover Hudson's ArtsFest, where we'll be displaying 10 panels covered in the more than 1,200 hearts we've collected from you over the last two years.

As we're getting ready to share our final display of all of Hudson's hearts, we're so grateful to Natick's What's In Your Heart? project, which inspired our own. The leaders of that project provided so much support and guidance as we planned Hudson Has Heart, and their help is much appreciated!
