Love Always Takes Art Beyond Gallery Walls

From gallery walls to a library display and postcards discovered around town, Love Always uses art to connect people and support charitable causes.

Created by artist Jesús Núñez of J. Nunez Gallery, which presents original art in Summit and Millburn, the campaign combines a charity art collection with community activities. The gallery donates 50% of sales from the collection to nonprofits.

At Millburn Free Library, visitors chose artwork cards, responded to a question about love and added their words or drawings to a shared installation. Around Millburn, a summer 2026 Postcard Hunt invited people to discover packs of art cards using clues shared on social media. The cards could be collected, sent with a message or passed along as a gesture of appreciation.

Inside the gallery, a Love Wall displayed pieces from the collection. Other charitable collaborations included limited-edition Love bags supporting The Warehouse NJ and custom Christmas wrapping paper used to raise funds for nonprofits.

The gallery is exploring more installations in community spaces and connections with local schools. A proposed school project would invite children to answer “What do you love the most?” through drawings and words, creating a shared display that encourages conversations about kindness, inclusion and care.

Across these different settings, the purpose remains the same: making art part of everyday life while bringing people together and helping others.
