One group is wanting to mark PG’s hundredth anniversary in a special way.
Two River’s Gallery has set up the ad hoc group “The Yarn Bomb Squad,” to decorate 100 trees with yarn.
Programs Director Carolyn Holmes says this is known as “yarn bombing.”
“Yarn bombing has been around for a long time its sort of a guerilla art form,” says Holmes, “people come usually in the night, and they wrap things in the city in yarn, in maybe crocheting or knitting, sometimes you’ll see fire hydrants that are yarn bombed.”
Holmes says they are inviting people to yarn bomb trees in a park, their own yard or anywhere in the city.
She says those who do yarn bomb a tree are asked to contact Two Rivers Gallery so they can keep track of them.
