Fiber Sprawl

Meet the Organizer: StevenBe

StevenBe and the StevenBe Creative Community Foundation have created a “living” fiber art installation beginning at their location at 3448 Chicago and emanating outward through the corridor. This installation “lives” by constantly evolving with new fiber art additions, yarn graffiti, community activity within our art garden, arts and crafts education, and the spread of creative projects along the corridor in line with our Foundation’s philosophy of giving back through the fiber arts.

The Foundation planned bi-weekly neighborhood gatherings where the community was invited to participate in building this public art installation. A steel sculpture created by Gail Katz-James in partnership with CAFAC has been brought to life through community action. Swatches created by members of the community were layered over the static steel, and the resulting sculpture is on display in the art garden at StevenBe at 35th and Chicago Avenue. The finished sculpture will also make appearances at other community events.
