The Mural and Community Involvement
The Rustic Love mural is the result of the collective efforts of thousands of local residents. In June 2020, Rustic Love began crafting wooden heart yard signs to raise funds for food-insecure families. Local families and businesses eagerly embraced the mission, and their generosity has been a driving force behind the project’s success. The mural now stands as a permanent tribute to the compassion and support shown by the community to those in need.

Our Role in the Project
Gimga was responsible for website development and sponsor outreach for this impactful project. The website was crucial in promoting Rustic Love’s mission, providing information about the mural, and facilitating the connection between sponsors and the community. Additionally, we supported the sponsorship campaign, helping to secure funding that enabled this mural to become a reality.

The Importance of Public Art
Public art plays a vital role in enriching communities by promoting cultural vibrancy, fostering a sense of unity, and raising awareness about social issues. It also serves as a lasting tribute to significant historical events and periods. This mural, which symbolizes community solidarity and hope, has inspired many and continues to serve as a reminder of the collective efforts to support those in need.
Rustic Love is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to addressing food insecurity in our community. We are proud to have been part of this project and look forward to seeing its positive impact continue to resonate.
