Sunny Day Fun Time

This statue was a collaborative project created by youth at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Virginia. Each child designed their own dog — full of color and love. Rainbows, hearts, flowers, and sunshine emerged as favorites, coming together into one vibrant, joyful celebration of creativity and community.
