Help create the Hexagons Of Dignity Tapestry, A Free Pop Up Art Tapestry being created now, with cloth hexagons you decorate with an image of personal dignity. People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to participate.
For People Sheltered In Place and Those Un-sheltered:
You are invited to create a symbolic expression of personal dignity within a hexagon having 5.5” sides. Guidelines downloadable. A primed 12 oz. canvas hexagon will be supplied upon request. You are invited to donate your hexagon to the Hexagons Of Dignity Tapestry to be included in the tapestry construction. Multiple panels will be created. The tapestry will be part of art installations and classroom presentations.
Timeline:
The first panels of the tapestry are anticipated to begin being sewn by June 1, 2020. Please submit your Hexagon of Dignity by May 30, 2020 to be part of the initial panels of dignity, representing art made globally, during Shelter In Place. The intention is to have hexagons submitted from all over the world.
Materials:
For durability, please use waterproof art supplies in creating your design. The tapestries can be painted; drawn with permanent markers; embroidered; silk screened or other printmaking methods; even fabric applique. To protect the integrity of your designs, please do not use glitter or attach objects to your hexagon. The completed panels for the tapestry will be rolled like scrolls when being transported.
