Red Thread project to connect GR residents

A unique collaboration between Artworks and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Art will literally get Grand Rapids all tied up. The unique interactive art production involves a series of events designed to celebrate human relations.

According to excerpts from the story:

Flowers are blooming and temperatures are rising outdoors, but the folks at Art Works and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts have knitted hats on their minds. And some pretty high-profile people, including the city’s commissioners, will have hats on their heads in May as part of these organizations’ Red Thread Project.

This unusual collaborative project celebrates the interconnectedness of human beings by engaging the community in the creation of 400 knitted hats and then connecting them with a red cord in a large-scale public performance at the end of June.
