Community Crochet Mural Project
Our Mural
At its completion, the community mural was comprised of 333 granny squares (83,916 double crochet), stretching over twenty feet wide and five feet tall. It was installed October 16th 2024 for the NEON Art Festival (17th & 18th). Following the end of the festival, the mural was disassembled into four blankets and donated to the YWCA of South Hampton Roads. Learn more about the YWCA here.
Our Community
Through the NEON Arts District, we found an eclectic community of fiber artists who dedicated their time, energy, and resources to the Community Crochet Mural Project. We were hosted by local small businesses including: Zeke's, The High Cup, Chrysler Museum of Art, and 757 Creative ReUse Center. We also received yarn donations from our members and 757 Creative ReUse Center.
That's a wrap! Stay tuned for what we have planned next!
