“A celebration of color and form, this piece is made of approximately sixty individual crocheted pieces that were all sewn directly to the frame. Crochet is a craft that is entirely handmade, as machines cannot replicate the stitches. Over 40,000 crochet stitches make up this touchable piece of art.” – Rachelle Smith

Located near the corner of West Temple and 300 South, in front of the old Zephyr building.
Celebration of the Hand was started by The Temporary Museum of Permanent Change and Craft Lake City in the Summer of 2012 as a way to highlight and showcase the work of local artisans participating in the Craft Lake City DIY Festival. The Celebration of the Hand pieces are installed into steel Plakats, which are adjacent to the sidewalks on the North and South sides of Broadway (300 South) between 200 West and 200 East.
The exhibit is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is free to the public.
