    CITY OF GRAND RAPIDS FY 2022 PRELIMINARY FISCAL PLAN The heart shaped artwork in the center of the cover image just outside Rosa Parks Circle was designed by Kate Meyer as a part of the Have a Heart GR art display that included 12 heart-shaped artworks by 14 local artists for the World of Winter festival in February of 2021. Have a Heart GR was curated and constructed by Barbara Lash and Carlos Aceves and sponsored by Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. Ms. Meyer shared that her piece was created to showcase her personal passion for protecting the natural world, and to inspire others to "fall in love" with nature too! Her non-profit partner for this project was Blandford Nature Center. Blandford's wildlife ambassadors are a highlight of any visit to the center, and the barn owl, Luna, is one of their most iconic residents.
