LOVEwork in Chesapeake

Created as part of a state and local partnership to promote travel and tourism, the artwork is an extension of the Virginia is for Lovers brand, and one of more than 300 LOVE letters, called LOVEworks, in towns and cities across the Commonwealth. The letters are found in the courtyard park behind Chesapeake City Hall. The design incorporates highlights of Chesapeake. The L is in the shape of a blue heron, the official city symbol. The O represents the black bear with a twist, on the front is an adult bear face and on the back you will find two cubs looking out. V is two kayaks representing kayaking our beautiful waterways. The E features playful river otters found in our waterways. Enjoy this beautiful work of art. And don't forget to tag photos in social media with #PeakeLOVE and #LOVEVA to be featured!
