Join Local Bronx Artist Ruth Marshall to create Artwork to support a butterfly and native habitat that is currently being preserved along the pedestrian walkway at the Hutchinson Metro Center.
Strong, colorful nylon Paracord will be crocheted into native species such as Monarch butterflies, bees, ladybugs and also plants such as Milkweed to decorate fencing at the habitat to bring attention to this important conservation effort. This endeavor began in 2023 with educator Patti Cooper and has been supported for two years now by the Bronx Council on the Arts and Morris Park NYPL in collaboration with DOT, NYC Parks and Simone Properties. All materials supplied, all ages and skill levels welcome!
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
