🧡 Bringing History Back to Life — in VR!
Love Where You Live celebrates the creative use of new technology to honor local history. Using a VR headset, local artist Rob Otero digitally recreated the historic PayNTakit mural in downtown Globe. This vintage sign — near Sycamore and Broad Streets by Holy Angels Church — once advertised a grocery chain that predated Safeway and helped shape early business in Globe. The project combines heritage and innovation, giving new life to a piece of local identity through modern preservation.

🎨 When art meets community, something special happens. 🎨
The Cobre Valley Foundation is proud to donate $22,000 to Love Where You Live, supporting the creation of three-dimensional art pieces that will be showcased along the walking path at Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center.
We may have struck an artsy pose for the occasion, but the real excitement is seeing creativity, wellness, and community come together in a meaningful way. We can’t wait to see the winning pieces installed and enjoyed by patients, staff, and visitors alike. 💚✨
