Parks in Bristol , southwest England, have been covered in hearts so people can socially distance within them as coronavirus restrictions are eased.
Artists involved with Upfest , the city’s live street art festival, painted 365 hearts spaced more than 2 meters apart in eco-friendly chalk line paint on the grass at College Green, Queen Square and Castle Park.
They also painted “#LoveBristol” murals in the parks and on the city’s streets.
The artworks were unveiled Monday, when nonessential stores were allowed to reopen following a three-month national lockdown. They form part of the yearlong #LoveBristol campaign — led by the nonprofit Bristol City Centre BID — which is working to help businesses recover from the pandemic.
The group also painted hearts in the parks last summer , when restrictions from the first national lockdown were being eased, and projected festive song lyrics onto buildings in the run-up to Christmas.
