⚽ Celebrate Kansas City as a Host City in this vibrant collage drawing by Erin Maslowski.
At the center of the artwork, a soccer player emerges from a fountain wearing the iconic Heart of KC design, symbolizing the city's evolution from the City of Fountains to Soccer City. Surrounding him are tributes to the seven nations that traveled here to compete—Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Curaçao, Ecuador, the Netherlands, and Tunisia—woven among the landmarks, traditions, and spirit that define the Heart of America.
The fountain erupts with symbols of local culture: smoky barbecue, jazz notes, neon signs, championship sports, and beloved landmarks. Water droplets transform into buffalo, corn, and wheat, honoring the region's Heartland roots, while a swirling tornado and flashes of lightning pay tribute to the Midwest's dramatic storms and capture the energy, resilience, and larger-than-life character of Kansas City.
From Union Station and the KC Streetcar to Arrowhead Stadium, every detail celebrates a community that welcomed the world while staying true to itself. A stamp at the base of the artwork honors Kansas City's role as a Host City in 2026 while also marking America's 250th birthday, connecting two historic milestones in a single moment of celebration.
Kansas City welcomes the world. ❤️
