The Arlington Commission for Arts and Culture’s first artist-in-residence project brings highly regarded sculptor and fiber artist Michelle Lougee to town. Many community partners are coming together and contributing to make the residency a success, especially the Arlington Public Library, which is contributing a home for the project at the Fox Library.

Working through June 2020, Michelle will create a large-scale collaborative public art project with the community for the Minuteman Bikeway. You are invited to learn how to crochet with “plarn” — a yarn made from recycled plastic bags — and contribute to a collaborative work with a message: if we all work together we can create beauty and protect the environment!
For this workshop, bring a “J” size crochet hook, a good scissors, and single-use plastic bags if you have them (newspaper subscription and supermarket shopping bags are best).

Space is limited. Please RSVP to PlarnArtPlanet@gmail.com
