Nashville Farmers' Market is expanding its international presence beyond restaurants to include an art installation that invites people to express their heritage.

The new, red sculpture reads "I Heart Nash" in block letters and is sure to be Instagram fodder. It is also meant to honor Immigration Heritage Month.

Nashville Mayor David Briley and immigration advocates unveiled the sculpture at an event Friday morning. The event was part of the "I Stand With Immigrants Initiative," a national effort by fwd.us to encourage people to talk about their immigrant heritage.

A similar statue was unveiled in Philadelphia, and another is slated for Boulder, Colorado.

At the event Friday, participants shared their stories with one another and placed stickers of flags that represented their heritage onto the heart.

Jkarlon Harrison works at the Nashville Farmers' Market and said the event was beautiful.

"I was able to gain some insight on how much our city government has invested in the betterment of immigrant Americans' transition into Nashville," she said.

Since June 2014, Immigration Heritage Month has given people across the world the opportunity to explore their heritage and celebrate the diversity of America.
