Hello Deb, While this was not a museum collaboration, but rather a collaboration between an artist, a local arts organization and a whole lot of other parties...it was pretty darn cool. Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol Bridge (also known as the Seventh Street Bridge, also known as one of the 3 Sisters Bridges) was massively yarn bombed last year. The partnership aspect was interesting- it brought together a lot of communities that don't typically intersect, and the reception from the public was very warm (yes, that might be a pun- I worked in downtown at the time, so walking across the bridge every day was very cool!). The blankets also didn't go to waste- they were washed and repurposed for distribution to local shelters. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/12/andy-warhol-bridge-yarn_n_3745775.html http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/photo-galleries/2013/08/10/andy-warhol-bridge-yarn-bombed/ http://www.pittsburghmagazine.com/Best-of-the-Burgh-Blogs/The-412/August-2013/30-Amazing-Photos-of-the-Warhol-Bridge-Yarn-Bombing/#.U-vJwvldWaI And it looks like Knit the Bridge has inspired a local library to do the same thing: https://knitthebridge.wordpress.com/2014/02/01/inspired-by-ktb/ . I'm sure if you reached out to the Fiberarts Guild or the organizers of Knit the Bridge, they'd be happy to contribute. Cheers, Tracey Berg-Fulton, M.Litt.
