You may have spotted social shares from curious visitors, art lovers and celebrities alike in previous locations including Los Angeles and Chicago.

Created by artist Jared Paul who is on a mission to raise his children surrounded by joy an happiness. It’s meant to be a reminder that this world, despite all the doom and gloom in the news, is still worth embracing. Finding something to smile about and the sense of community are important as we go about our everyday lives.
