The Harwood’s annual community art collaboration is a fun and easy project called “Safety Net.” Everyone is invited to participate using whatever materials are available at home. This project is suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
What is Safety Net?
Safety Net is a large cloth assembled from hexagons made by you and others across our city. You’ll create and embellish hexagons made of any sew-able material. When face-to-face operations resume, the staff and teaching artists of Harwood Art Center will gather and assemble all of our hexagons into a Safety Net to celebrate our resilience and the importance of our social connections.
Create as many hexagons as you want to! You might make one for yourself and several for the people you miss most or worry most about during this time. Just remember to make sure the edges are reinforced in some way to create strength for our final Safety Net. This is a good metaphor for keeping yourself strong and healthy as a member of our community.
