24-second hugs with a sibling in 24 cities in one day 

(CENTRAL FLORIDA)-What's the longest you've ever hugged your sibling? This National Siblings Day (Wednesday, April 10), award-winning performance artist Brian Feldman plans to hug his sister, Adrienne McIntosh, for 24 seconds. In 24 cities. In one day.

"24 Second Embrace" is the thrilling conclusion to the "24 Embrace Trilogy," following "24 Minute Embrace," Brian's 2015 project which featured him and his mother sharing a hug for 24 minutes in three cities (Orlando; Washington, D.C.; and Philadelphia) on Mother's Day, and "24 Hour Embrace (after Young Sun Han)," Brian's 2011 project which featured him and his father sharing a hug inside of a boxing ring for the full 24-hour duration of Father's Day.

Traversing 24 Central Florida cities in six counties, including every city in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties (alphabetically: Altamonte Springs, Apopka, Bay Lake, Belle Isle, Casselberry, Clermont, Davenport, Daytona Beach, DeLand, Edgewood, Kissimmee, Lake Buena Vista, Lake Mary, Longwood, Maitland, New Smyrna Beach, Ocoee, Orlando, Oviedo, Sanford, St. Cloud, Winter Garden, Winter Park, and Winter Springs), each city visited as part of "24 Second Embrace" represents each hour of National Siblings Day, a real holiday "recognized annually in some parts of the United States on April 10, honoring the relationships of siblings. Unlike Mother's Day and Father's Day, it is not federally recognized, though the Siblings Day Foundation is working to change this."

The public is invited to view "24 Second Embrace" in almost all of the cities (exhaustingly detailed schedule provided); a few are restricted access or require going through security in order to view. Additionally, following the embrace in each city, the public is invited to give Brian and Adrienne a one second hug before they rush to the next city.

"24 Second Embrace" marks only the second time, in over 15 years of producing performance art events, that Brian Feldman Projects is presenting a project in multiple cities in a single day. It is also sets a new personal performance art record for him (24 cities in one day).
