The Immigrant Yarn Project
KNITNIGHTS at The Tube Factory

EVERY THURSDAY | 5-6pm

Free admission—all ages and skill levels

Would you like to be part of a nation-wide community art project?

If so, every Thursday evening, 5-6 pm, the Tube Factory is the place for you!
The Immigrant Yarn Project is the nation’s largest yarn-based work of public art, and it’s dedicated to our rich, immigrant history. Based in San Francisco, The Immigrant Yarn Project will be exhibited first at Fort Point Historical Site, Spring 2019, and then go on the
road in a traveling exhibition around the United States.

“Hundreds of artist / knitter / activists from around the country are
collaborating in a single, magnificent gesture of unity, solidarity, and yarn-based creativity in a celebration of our nation’s glorious diversity. The Immigrant Yarn Project…represents a cross section of the American experience. We think it’s time to rise above division and come together to celebrate what we all have in common – citizenry in a nation composed of diverse backgrounds, families, politics, faiths, identities and ideas.”
—Cindy Weil, Founder of Enactivist, the San Francisco-based 501(c)(3) responsible for organizing The Immigrant Yarn Project
