Knit Knit Bomb Bomb


Pelham Art Center’s outdoor Courtyard will be colorfully ablaze this summer with a yarn bombing installation that will cover stretches of its brick walls, tree branches, benches, etc. with knitted “garments.” Knit Knit Bomb Bomb is a community knitting project led by Maureen McCourt and Gail Heidel to help transform the context of everyday objects as a new way to activate public space. The exhibition will run from June 26 – August 31, 2015.  Community members have been participating in ongoing free bi-monthly knitting circles at the Art Center.  Knitters select an object to cover with knitting or crochet, or collaborate on a larger piece, like the 90’ brick wall, with other yarn artists.  An opening reception for this socially engaged art project will be held on June 26 from 6:30-8PM in conjunction with the Art Center’s Faculty and Student Showcase exhibition opening.
