LoveTusc Project: The Tuscarawas County Sculpture Tour

Fundraising Update: 4-23-24

Help Us Reach the Last of Our Total Goal for LoveTusc!

LoveTusc began with a goal in mind to create a grassroots public art series of sculptures to celebrate the pride of place and love shared about Tuscarawas County. What started as a concept has emerged as a project to make public art accessible throughout Tuscarawas County for all to enjoy.

We are grateful for the help of our various community members and businesses who either dove into fundraising for their community’s sculptures or financially supported one or multiple LoveTusc sculptures. We also highlight the creativity and talent of the artists for bringing their pieces to life to represent the area where each sculpture would be placed. It has taken many hours of dedication to make a county-wide public art project a reality, and we are thrilled to be in the final fundraising stages for the remaining LoveTusc sculptures!

Join us on Thursday, May 16, 2024, for the Second Unveiling Event of the remaining LoveTusc sculptures before their installation at the Performing Arts Center at Kent State Tuscarawas. Also, throughout the summer of 2024, travel around Tuscarawas County with your family and friends for a LoveTusc Scavenger Hunt!

 

LoveTusc Merchandise

Another way you can support the project is through our LoveTusc merchandise! LoveTusc shirts are now available through That Shirt Shack! We also have LoveTusc ornaments to help share the love for our community! Proceeds from the purchase of the LoveTusc shirts and ornaments will go directly towards the project.

Thank you for your support!
