 here's an IndyStar article about it</a>). The Village is a large-scale fib
 er piece made of pompoms and latch hook sections put together by participa
 nts. Whether it&rsquo\;s two people making pompoms together\, helping each
  other attach pompoms to the canvas\, or afterward sharing this simple han
 d skill with friends and family\, The Village encourages a sense of belong
 ing.</p>\n<p><img src="https://static.libnet.info/frontend-images/editor/i

 \n<p>This artwork will eventually be 24 feet wide and 8 feet high\, and re
 presents the best of Indianapolis Arts. It can't be made without assistanc
 e from each other. Social Practice Art focuses on the interaction between 
 participants. What is made is a souvenir. The activity has a long cultural
  history within the fiber arts&mdash\;quilting bees\, sewing circles\, kni
 tting groups\, and any club over the centuries where women of all ages and
  cultural backgrounds gathered together to create.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>The Vill
 age is composed of 13 individual panels that fit together to make one 24-f
 oot by 8-foot composition. Mary Jo Bayliss takes individual panels into th
 e community and pompoms are attached to the panel. These pompoms create te
 xture and relief amid latch hook to create a design of heart hands\, butte
 rflies\, snakes\, guitars\, and circles.&nbsp\;After the piece is complete
 \, it will be displayed at Tube Factory Artspace.&nbsp\;<a href="https://w
 ww.bigcar.org/">Big Car Collaborative</a>&nbsp\;has sponsored this work\, 
 under the direction of Mary Jo Bayliss\, with support from The Indianapoli
 s Public Library\, Ivy Tech Community College\, and other community locati
 ons for social creation.</p>\n<p>Visit the exhibit to learn about the proc
 ess of creating The Village and to see the progress of how the piece has g
 rown over time.</p>\n<p><img src="https://static.libnet.info/frontend-imag
