Earlier this year, Parade of Hearts announced a call for art in anticipation of their 2024 return after a limited season this year.  After receiving over 475 submissions, the final 100 winners have been selected. Artists will receive a $2,000 stipend to assist in marketing and the creation of their designs.

“Our artists to date have done such incredible work and we’ve been honored to bring their designs to life. We are equally thrilled with these finalists for 2024 and can’t wait for Kansas City to see them,” says Parade of Hearts director Jenn Nussbeck.
