Embrace the joys of community-based collaboration as we gather to repurpose and assemble pom-poms and stitched, crocheted, and knitted floral and plant elements, transforming the Autry’s mezzanine with a colorful yarn art installation. Celebrating the native plants on display in the Autry’s outdoor California Continued Ethnobotanical Garden, the mezzanine installation beckons visitors to pause and reflect upon the beauty of the Garden and the world around us. 

Similar to a quilting bee, we invite you to enjoy the peaceful rhythm of stitching, share tips and stories, and contribute to a vibrant, whimsical display. No knowledge of knitting or crocheting is required. Tools and materials for this collaborative stitching activity will be provided. Bring your creativity and your sense of fun as we brighten up the Autry one vibrant stitch at a time!

Schedule of Events: 

Yarn Bombing Los Angeles is a fiber arts community that engages thousands of people online, worldwide, and locally in the Los Angeles area. YBLA currently collaborates with city governments, museums, alternative art spaces, and public spaces to create thought-provoking, community-generated public art installations. 

YBLA's work blends and reinterprets different artistic genres of street art, public art, fiber art, social practice, craft, and high art. YBLA's mission is to create a form of community-generated, site-specific public art that is tactile and accessible while at the same time initiating dialogue about cross-generational connections and craft history.
