Devon Avenue art project needs volunteers

Volunteers Needed for 2018 Yarnbomb!

Hello Everyone,

Please join us for our third annual 'yarnbomb'!  The Devon Avenue Art Project is sponsored by Local Goods Chicago and talented, generous neighbors! Since 2016 we have decorated the trees in front of Local Goods Chicago and other local business on the northside of Devon avenue. Our goal is to create community and beauty!   Last year we did the entire north side of Devon from the train station to Starbucks!

This year we are starting a little bit later because of the Devon Avenue construction project.   We hope to install  prior to the 4th of July parade.

Our projects have used knitted, crocheted, sewn, felted,  and pom pom flowers in general. You do not need any special skills to contribute to this project.

HOW IT WORKS
We get together at Local Goods Chicago to make a plan, then we all work on our own to create the material needed for the project Some of the members only worked in the 'making' part. Other members worked on every phase.

Typically we do the following:

• 1 or 2 planning meetings
• Work on our own to create the material
• Meet to make sure we have enough material
• Installation 1 or 2 days
• Take Down 1 day
  ​
  

If you cannot attend meetings but would like to contribute fiber art, please let us know.
You can participate in one or all of these phases of the project.  The planning phase needs to get underway, so we are hoping that a few of you might join in and help us design the project.
