LOVEworks in Virginia's Blue Ridge

Virginia LOVE Signs in Virginia's Blue Ridge

There are many unique LOVEworks in Virginia’s Blue Ridge and more than 200 across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Why not get a start on your #LOVEVA photo collection right here with us?

Some of Virginia’s early LOVEworks appeared in Virginia’s Blue Ridge like the railroad-inspired creation in downtown Roanoke on Market Street. Designed by Eric Fitzpatrick, it portrays the rail history that fueled area growth and the creation of iconic landmarks like The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center. 

On the flip side, one of the most recent LOVEworks can be found in VBR as well. A trip to Natural Bridge State Park now includes a Mark Cline-designed LOVE featuring Lace Falls rolling into Cedar Creek as it flows beneath the towering limestone arch on its way to the James River.

You can also snap a selfie in front of the wonderfully creative LOVEwork at Roanoke’s Black Dog Salvage.

The LOVE letters of the region are a great representation of our local communities and culture, and what makes them special places to visit and explore. You’ll find tributes to the outdoors, arts, history, music, sports, food & drink, and more.

An entire visit to Virginia’s Blue Ridge could be built around checking out the different LOVEworks in the region and it will introduce you to many wonderful local businesses and experiences.
