Brooklyn-based nonprofit **Powerhouse Arts** is bringing its fabrication expertise to the heart of Manhattan through its participation in *Making Love*, the newest iteration of Times Square’s beloved Valentine’s tradition. Now in its 18th year, Love in Times Square returns to Duffy Square with a dynamic installation that celebrates romance in all its forms.

Presented in partnership with **Times Square Arts**, the public art arm of the **Times Square Alliance**, *Making Love* reframes love not only as passion, but as labor, craft, and collective creation. Powerhouse Arts, known for supporting artists through large-scale fabrication and production, played a key role in bringing the ambitious sculptural concept to life.

Designed as an immersive, pop-up card or “carousel book,” the installation features four distinct faces, each illustrating a romantic scene rooted in New York City iconography — from a lush botanical garden to a neighborhood bodega and a winding canal. Positioned in the electric energy of Duffy Square, the piece doubles as an Instagram-ready backdrop and a ceremonial stage. On February 14, couples were able to exchange vows within the artwork itself, transforming public space into a site of shared celebration and civic love.
