From 17 to 31 March 2010, a new exhibition that brings together craft and community action will transform the Artstation gallery into a neighborhood of artworks and craft objects.
Curated by Artstation’s Domestic Craft and Contemporary Art Group aka the ‘Knitterati’. House-to-House will raise funds for Auckland City Mission’s project Mission in the City, which aims to provide a place for Auckland’s homeless.
Community groups, schools and artists have been asked to create house artworks for the installation. “We want to explore the idea of unity in diversity within communities,” says organiser and artist Liz Wilkinson.
The Knitterati’s previous project, Shelter involved a giant 'shelter' made out of hand knitted blankets that were donated to the New Zealand Red Cross for newly arrived refugees.
This exhibition is proudly supported by the Creative Communities scheme.
