#Yes Heart Sculpture Delights Visitors To Boston Harbor

Inflatable YES Heart Art DisplayBringing Hashtags To Life With Custom Inflatable Art

It is usually only in cartoons or sci-fi movies that we see the virtual crossing over into reality. However, visitors to Boston Harbor and the Harbor Arts Festival 2014 got to take in a new exhibit titled #YES.

Artist Brian Kane premiered the first in this ongoing series of inflatable sculptures (OMG!) at the Harbor Arts Festival in 2013. The second installment carries another common online expression into the real world by putting physical form to a hashtag.

 Why? "[I wanted to] create a bold landmark sculpture for the people of Boston that was highly visible, family-friendly and broadly accessible," says the artist. Of all the media available to work with, why use Landmark Creations to develop inflatable art?

"Tom and Landmark are the best. I've worked with Landmark over the last few years to develop a process that delivers the best quality products on time. Tom and the teamwork with me to get all of the details right."

In addition to brightening the days of local Bostonians, the inflatable art also drew attention from the press and created a bit of social media buzz. Is that a typical reaction to inflatable sculptures? #YES!

"The speed of production was remarkable. We now have eight Hot Stuff balloons that will travel all over the USA to invite people to try our great-tasting pizza."

- B. Eble, Hot Stuff Foods

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked.  We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."

- Jackie Allen, March of Dimes

"Our tunnel was also a great addition to our pre-game tradition: the Wildcat walk. Our city shuts down three blocks of downtown, and we have hundreds of fans lining the streets with a police escort, while we walk to the stadium."

- Sam Baker, Head Football Coach at Waconia High School
