Dania Beach: Let Love Guide Your Way Unveiling Ceremony

JOIN US AT DANIA AFTER DARK FOR THE UNVEILING OF

“LET LOVE GUIDE YOUR WAY”

The City of Dania Beach invites you to join City Officials and City Staff for the Public Art Unveiling Ceremony at Dania After Dark on Saturday, February 12th, 2022 @ 5:30pm located at 100 W. Dania Beach Blvd. Dania Beach, FL 33004.

A wonderful evening of entertainment, with a wide variety of food vendors, arts and crafts and fun for the entire family. The City of Dania Beach is extremely excited to unveil a stunning Love Art Sculpture by artist Lloyd Goradesky as we kick off Valentine’s Day weekend! Let Love Guide Your Way is a celebration of kindness and love encouraging compassion, consideration, and tolerance for everyone.

The Art is an example of Art & Design merging with Engineering & Science. The artist uses a weathervane which is shaped in the form of Cupid’s Arrow. The heart - shaped arrow rotates 180 degrees which is used to not only measure wind but also as a metaphoric expression to describe people who change their views frequently. “In a chaotic world, when faced with a dilemma, let love guide your way. ”

In support of the City’s logo “Sea it, Live it, LOVE IT,” this amazing sculpture will continue to make our City Hall campus a destination for art and entertainment, selfies and photographs. Join us for a truly magical evening.
