hearts overflowing Explanation: As in: "hearts overflowing with the desire to share". As Caroline suggests, I think the idea is that these are open-hearted/big-hearted people drawn to the artist's work. I'm suggesting this formula, which could go well with, for instance , "with stars in their eyes and their hearts..." Alternatively, if you want to be more concise, you could consider using "starry-eyed and big-hearted" (the big-heartedness implying the desire to share). |

brimming with... Explanation: ... a desire to share Or bursting with... en bandouliere when it is not literal has the implication of ostentation http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/bandouliere And I think that in this context it is something which is really obvious and clear to see: The people who come to see these works have stars in their eyes and are brimming with the desire to share |
