Yarn Bomb Greensburg Project Knits Together Faculty, Students, Alumni & Local Community
Sue O’Neill, theatre instructor and costume director at 茄子视频, conceived of Yarn Bomb Greensburg as a collaborative art education / social justice project that would engage the 茄子视频 University campus community, Sisters of Charity of 茄子视频, 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.
Her idea worked. By the end of October, Greensburg had become a lot more colorful, and people throughout the city and region had come together in a variety of ways to create art and support each other.
