Art Exhibit by Matthew Hoffman Sets the Stage for A One-of-a-kind Experience Promoting Self-acceptance and Inviting Shoppers to Reflect On Their Inner and Outer Beauty

October 20, 2022, Norwalk, CT: The “You are Beautiful” art installation/experience is coming to The SoNo Collection in Norwalk, CT, October 29-November 17, 2022. The SoNo Collection will be one of just eight stops for the traveling exhibit as it tours Brookfield Properties shopping centers throughout the U.S. The one-of-a-kind experience is not only FREE and family-friendly, but promotes the importance of body positivity, self-acceptance, and self-care. 

Three words. One message. Starting out by placing 100 stickers around town with the positive affirmation, “you are beautiful”, Chicago-based artist Matthew Hoffman’s inspiring idea has evolved into a worldwide phenomenon since its beginnings in 2002. You are Beautiful allows shoppers to not only view Hoffman’s art but experience it through interactive elements, including:
 

  • A 12-foot Affirmation Wall on which visitors can attach hand-written notes with positive affirmations. The goal is to fill the wall with inspiring notes from across the U.S. locations the You Are Beautiful exhibition stops.

  • A 13.5-foot by 10-foot Self-Reflection Mirror gives visitors a chance to reflect upon and celebrate their inner and outer beauty.

  • Moments of Motivation Seats complete with “You are Beautiful” affirmations allow visitors to sit down and find their inner confidence.
