Take a walk around Downtown this month to see some fun temporary textile art installations!

All month we have been hosting workshops, giving out crochet kits, and accepting donations of granny squares, swatches, weavings, and forgotten crochet projects. With the help of our wonderful volunteers, we stitched everything together and installed it all around Downtown just in time for November Art Walk. Visit our Cozy Up Downtown page for the map and more info, or just take a walk Downtown and see what you can find!

We couldn't have done it without the help of volunteers and HDP staff alike, and we hope this takeover brings you warmth and joy as the weather gets colder and we inch closer to winter.

BONUS: Check out this cool video of the installation!
