ART SHOW

We spent today decorating and hanging work for our art show!
Many of the kids have been working on a big paper chain, which we hung up today.

Lindsey said, "I'll make a real chain. With these paper clips...."



First linking them together, and then linking the whole chain into loops.



I am continuously wowed by the complete and total brilliance of children.



and oh yeah... we're pretty pumpped about the show!

MUCH EXCITEMENT!

Our sweet little art show is still up at the Sentient Bean... drop by this week if you can!
The opening was wonderful! A group of kids came over, we looped at the art work, had(a lot of) milk and cookies, and hung up more artwork. The local papers have covered this event very nicely!

One Day in Savannah GA

Greetings All!!
Finally, after a busy month, here are some of the fabulous pictures which were taken at the LOOP IT UP art show!

On May 15th, we had a very special day! Mary Calucci of the Warm Up America Foundation and Kathleen Sams of Red Heart Yarn, came down for the event! We spent the day displaying all of the beautiful work that the kids at the Y and from the Boy's and Girls Club have made over the past few months.






At 5:30 the guests started arriving!!






We had some very special guests, including Jamison Field Murphy, who is 11 years old and a wonderful musician! He performed throughout the night...




We were so excited that Mr. and Mrs. Howard Morrison also stopped by! They have been great supporters of Loop It Up from the very start! Here they are with Peter Doliber, of the West Broad Street YMCA and Cayewah Easley, chair of the SCAD Fibers Department



Thank you, a million times over, to everyone who has helped with this project! None of it could have happened without the many volunteers, donations and the enthusiasts in our community! We plan to continue Loop It Up! and try to grow and spread it as much as we can in the coming year. We need your help! If you are interested in teaching, prepping classes, donating or organizing materials please get in touch!
