Stop & Smell the Roses!

It will be on display during the 104th Rose Show Festival and will focus on the sights and sounds of Thomasville as we celebrate roses, the symbol of our city. 16 teams of fiber artists (1-2/team) will compete to yarn bomb 16 lampposts along the West Jackson Street corridor by staging a rose-inspired yarn bomb. Each team will create a fiber art sleeve for the lamppost with an embellishment of a fiber art bouquet of roses along with other local flowers – crocheted, knitted, felted, or created with any fiber art medium. We challenge all artists to create something new and modern for this exhibition. Three awards including Best of Show: $1,000, 1st Place: $750, and 2nd Place: $500 will be granted to the top three fiber art teams. Honorable Mention awards will also be given to two additional teams for “community favorites.”
