ABOUT HEARTS ACROSS THE VALLEY
CBH Homes proudly presents CBH Hearts Across the Valley, a groundbreaking community experience celebrating connection across the Treasure Valley and beyond. Now in 2026, the project is truly taking off with 24 uniquely designed hearts already installed across 13 cities in Southern Idaho. Created by talented local artisans, this growing collection celebrates creativity, community, and connection — and we’re excited to complete the remaining hearts throughout 2026.
OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for all types of artisans to create a bespoke heart and execute their design on our large 5ft by 5ft fiberglass heart sculpture for the West Boise YMCA. The Heart will be displayed in a public setting for all to enjoy. You and your design will also be featured on a website and interactive app for the duration of this 2 year project.

WHAT THE WEST BOISE YMCA IS LOOKING FOR:
Create a custom design that reflects the YMCA’s brand identity through clean, simple visuals aligned with our logo, color palette, and overall brand guidelines. The artwork should incorporate the Y logo and convey a strong sense of community by showing people connecting, engaging, and supporting one another in authentic, natural ways. It should highlight the Y’s core values—Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility—along with our commitments to Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility. The piece should express optimism and determination, celebrating the opportunities the Y provides for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to learn, grow, and thrive. Ultimately, the art should illustrate the human connections and shared experiences that strengthen our communities.
