Love stamps in Richmond, the capital of the state with the slogan, “Virginia is for Lovers.” The first-day-of-issuance ceremony for the limited edition Love:  \nForever Hearts stamps will be held Thursday, Jan. 22 at 11 a. m . at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. The event is free and open to the public.  \n“Although the Greeks first associated the heart with feelings of love and romance, heart symbols can be traced back to pictograms from before the last Ice Age,” said U.S. Postal Service Capital Metro Area Vice President Kristin Seaver. “Today, the heart is everywhere. It can be found in religious art, pop culture, greeting cards and so much more, but the meaning remains the same—love—the universal language of the heart. Our Forever Hearts stamps reminds people of the power of everlasting love. In that spirit, we hope the stamp will help you send all of your cards and letters to those you care about with a special touch of love and cheer.  \nMoreover, there is nothing like the feeling of receiving a love letter in the mail or a valentine from that special someone. But remember, these stamps can be used year-round because love never goes out of season or style.”  \nScheduled to join Seaver in the dedication will be Virginia Tourism Corporation President and CEO Rita McClenny; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Director Alex Nyerges; and Forever Hearts Art Director, Antonio Antonio Alcalá of Alexandria, VA.  \nCombining artistic vision with a symbol of undying affection, the 2015 Forever Hearts stamps depict the ancient association between eternal love and the heart. Lacy lettering in the shape of a heart spells out the word“Forever” on two stamps. One design features red lettering on a white background; the other is reversed, with white lettering on a field of red.  \nArtist Jessica Hische created the lettering that forms the heart, first drawing her design by hand and then finishing the stamp art digitally.  \nThe Heart Design  \nA religious symbol, a motif in art, an expression of affection or support—today the heart is everywhere, not only at Valentine’s Day, but also year-round. It signifies romantic love as well as love of people, places, or ideas. In the 1970s, a campaign to increase tourism in New York famously substituted the heart symbol for the word“love” in its slogan, a trademarked logo that spawned imitations around the world. Scores of businesses and organizations use the heart as part of their logos. Heart designs are carved onto furniture, etched onto jewelry, sewn into quilt patterns, and fashioned into sculpture. In February, the heart is found on everything from cookies to cards to kids’ clothes.  \nThe traditional colors of red and white would be appropriate for valentines, wedding invitations, baby announcements, anniversary cards, party invites or any occasion that calls for a classic, timeless stamp.  \nJessica Hische created the stamp images under the guidance of Art director Antonio Alcalá . As Forever stamps, the Love: Forever Hearts stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.  \nBackground on the Stamp Artist  \nGrowing up in Hazleton, PA, Hische always knew she wanted to be an artist. Her first professional drawing project was a mural for a restaurant in her hometown. She went on to study graphic and interactive design at the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, graduatin","cbCairVnlMWL76oG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairVnlMWL76oG","pdf",401187,"English","# The 2015 Love: Forever Hearts stamp dedication\n## Ceremony details and public access\n## Heart symbolism and design description\n## Forever stamp value and usage\n## Background of the stamp artist\n## Background of the stamp designer","[{\"question\":\"Where and when will the Love: Forever Hearts stamp dedication take place?\",\"answer\":\"The first-day-of-issuance ceremony will be held in Richmond, Virginia on Thursday, Jan. 22 at 11 a.m. at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the Love: Forever Hearts stamps depict and how is the word “Forever” presented?\",\"answer\":\"The stamps depict the ancient association between eternal love and the heart, with lacy heart-shaped lettering spelling out “Forever” in two contrasting red-and-white designs.\"},{\"question\":\"How can Forever stamps be used and what is their value?\",\"answer\":\"As Forever stamps, the Love: Forever Hearts stamps can be used year-round because love never goes out of season, and they always remain equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.\"}]","Love: Forever Hearts Stamps Great for Expressing Valentine’s Day Wishes | PDF",1789532123]
