Knitted City will bring warmth, fun and colour to the streets of Adelaide, when a group of artists take to the streets with their, well…knitting.
 
Yarn bombing is a temporary and ephemeral public art installation that employs colourful and often whimsical displays of knitted, woven and crocheted fibres. Sometimes called ‘graffiti knitting’, the work aims to reclaim, personalise and engage with public spaces.
 
This project will enchant all that engage with it and invites the public to explore the relationship between themselves and the city’s public spaces and thoroughfares.

Artists:
Troy-Anthony Baylis
Deborah Prior
Gemma Sneddon
Laura Haigh
