We are bombing Union Park!

With yarn that is. What is a yarn bomb? Well, come to Union Park, scope out the areas trees and benches, and then knit a sweater or crochet a scarf to cover parts of them. It’s like soft graffiti for the fun of it! Participants are encouraged to bring a bag lunch, a camera to capture this unique activity, and to stick around for prizes that will be awarded for various creations. Participants are also encouraged to laminate a tag identifying their yarn bomb for all to see! If you don’t know how to knit or crochet, have no fear; the Kenosha Public Libraries have plenty of books on the subject. Yarn is also available at both Simmons and Southwest Libraries. Presented by Lemon Street Gallery and the Kenosha Public Library, this fun event takes place on Saturday, September 25th, at 11:00. Union Park is located at 45th St. and 7th Ave.

More than a decade ago, five artists sat around a table thinking it would be “cool” if they exhibited together, so Lemon Street Gallery & ArtSpace opened in Kenosha in November 1999. Located in southeast Wisconsin, just blocks from Lake Michigan, the gallery celebrates its ten-year anniversary on November 14th.

The gallery gets its name from the street it sits on. Located at the corner of Sheridan Road and 46th Street, the latter was named Lemon Street when the brick building went up in 1919. Melanie Hovey, the gallery’s director and one of its founders, calls the gallery “a refreshingly different art gallery experience!” It is a nonprofit artist’s collective featuring original artwork in all media by over 60 local and regional artists.
