Bring LOVEwork to Your Destination or Event

Virginia is for Lovers is about love – pure and simple. The Virginia Tourism Corporation has created over-sized LOVEwork (16 feet wide and 7 feet high) to promote the message that “Love is at the heart of every Virginia vacation.“

The Virginia Tourism Corporation is offering the LOVEwork on a first-come, first served basis for Virginia tourism destinations/events that promote family-friendly travel experiences.

For a fee of $500 (to cover transportation and installation), VTC will deliver the LOVEwork to your local destination for special events, new openings, new exhibits or to launch a new marketing initiative. The event must be family-focused and compliment the Virginia is for Lovers marketing campaign and brand.

Other guidelines include:

The LOVEwork is only available for special events at a family-friendly tourism-related destination which will draw a minimum of 500 people.
The LOVEwork is available for a minimum of three days and a maximum of seven days.
There can be no admission cost just to access the LOVEwork.
The location of the LOVEwork must be on a flat area that is at least 20 feet long that is easily accessible by everyone including people with mobility issues or physical disabilities.
Any necessary permits/paperwork/local approval must be secured by the local organization making the request.
Organization requesting the LOVEwork must complete a liability form if selected to receive the artwork.
VTC has final approval on LOVEwork placement/location as well as messaging/promotion related to the artwork.
Submit your requests at least 60 days in advance of your event.
The LOVEwork is on a first-come first served basis.
Approved LOVEwork destinations need to send any news releases, Web announcements or any other communication about the LOVE artwork to VTC for approval prior to distribution.
