Share the Love Call to Artists

Share the Love

The City of Tualatin is seeking talented glass artists to contribute their creations to Share the Love.

ABOUT SHARE THE LOVE

Share the Love is an annual event where hand-blown glass hearts are hidden throughout the City of Tualatin's parks and trails. Residents and visitors search for these hidden treasures as they explore the natural beauty of Tualatin. The finders can keep the heart as a reminder of their love for their city or Share the Love by hiding the heart for someone else to find.
