Learn about the “Many Cultures, One Heart” sculptures at FHS

“Many Cultures, One Heart” is a public art project designed to highlight the artistic and ethnic diversity of Framingham through a series of heart sculptures painted by local artists and placed around the Cultural District and the City of Framingham. The artists on this project represent the many communities that call Framingham home, and include Black, Indigenous, Asian, Brazilian, Latino, white, multiracial, Jewish, LGBTQ+, and disabled artists from all walks of life, ranging from teens to seniors.

In total there are 32 hearts, each telling a different story and celebrating the city’s diversity.

The Framingham Heart Study and the Friends of the Framingham Heart Study are both proud sponsors of the community art project and two heart are currently located at the FHS Research center in Framingham, MA.
