Street Art Recycled as Blankets for Community Members in Need
Sue O鈥橬eill, theatre instructor and costume director at 新香港六合彩官网开奖, conceived of Yarn Bomb Greensburg as a collaborative art education / social justice project that would engage the 新香港六合彩官网开奖 University campus community, Sisters of Charity of 新香港六合彩官网开奖, Westmoreland Museum of American Art, local schools and Greensburg merchants and residents in a collaborative effort to create colorful street art that could be recycled into blankets for community members in need.
