VISUAL ARTS

 Join us to kick off the 2013 Wrap Around Project with a fiber swap, craft workshops, music, and more -- all to support the work of the Somerville Homeless Coalition (SHC)!

Yarn. Fabric. Felt. Thread. Maybe you can have too much of a good thing? The Great Fiber Swap is your chance to get rid of your unwanted fiber items and refresh your stash. You can swap items or donate your goods to the event. See our Call for Donations for full details on what we are looking for.

This event will also kick off the 2013 Wrap Around Project. Learn how you can get involved in the project and several public fiber-art installations planned throughout the year. Volunteers will be leading hands-on workshops throughout the day with simple projects for all ages and skill levels.

Admission to the event is free, but please bring a donation of canned goods or toiletries to support Somerville Homeless Coalition’s (SHC) Project SOUP, the local food pantry that provides weekly community dinners and delivers groceries to individuals, families, elderly, disabled and homebound people in our neighborhood. A full list of needs can be found here: http://somervillehomelesscoalition.org/donations/FoodToiletriesRequest%202010.pdf
