👋🏼 Abbey here. I love running into these hearts around town — this one I was lucky to pass by on a morning walk just outside City Market.
"Welcome to the Party" is one of the heart sculptures in this year's Parade of Hearts, designed by KCMO-born artist Mandolyn Bingham.
- She says she used neon colors and overlapping patterns to represent KC's mix of cultures, and hung a disco ball at the center to evoke the city's nightlife.
