Artist Statement
Returning for their second year in Art on the Atlanta BeltLine, The Knitterati creates a new, temporary and customized knitted/crocheted exhibition that calls attention to the unique fabric of the Atlanta community and the beauty of the BeltLine. This installation is larger than last year’s, seeking to transform and soften the industrial object of a bridge. The Knitterati exhibition brings unexpected whimsy and personality to the historic neighborhood and brings the art of “yarn bombing” to the Atlanta BeltLine.
Artist Bio
The Knitterati is a fluid group of Atlantans who use knitting and crocheting as a delightful excuse to get together, catch up and enjoy food, drink and each other’s company.
