“Yarn Arms Around Port” is a grassroots effort being spearheaded by Residents Forward member and local fiber artist, Allison White. The goal of the project is to bring the community together to create public art, all while raising awareness about the importance of trees, caring for one another, and inclusivity. With the help of volunteers, the goal is to decorate 25-50 trees in our community with displays of colorful, handmade crochet work. We hope this program attracts visitors to Port Washington, brings community members together to create something beautiful, and increases environmental awareness. The yarn arms will be crocheted this fall/winter and hung on trees along Main Street in April 2022. This recording includes details of the project, as well as volunteer opportunities for both experienced and new crocheters, and those interested in supporting other aspects of the project.
