Learning to Love You More (LTLYM) was a 7 year long crowdsourced art project, where over 8,000 people posted work they had created in response to a series of prompts. The project was created in 2002 by Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher, with a website created by Yuri Ono. In May 2009, the authors discontinued the project, ending with a final assignment asking people to "Say Goodbye." In 2010 SFMOMA acquired the work. The work has been exhibited at The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, Rhodes College in Memphis, the Aurora Picture Show in Houston, The Seattle Art Museum in Seattle, and the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts in San Francisco, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Learning to Love You More: Piggybacking Assignments - Artists Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July describe the collaboration that resulted in their collaborative online project, "Learning to Love You More." See more ...
In 2007 July and Fletcher published the book Learning to Love You More, which features selections from the website. Ken Johnson of the New York Times called it " delightful, often funny and at times surprisingly moving." Publishers Weekly wrote that "The resonance of the work... is sadly diminished in book form, where a willing lack of organization often isolates contributions from the same assignment."
