2025

Multimedia artist Isabella Thompson returned to the NEON District in 2025, creating an ocean-inspired yarn bomb for International Yarn Bombing Day on June 15. Yarn bombs are street artworks created by fiber enthusiasts who crochet or knit pieces for display in public environments, often covering trees, fences or benches. Find Isabella’s piece on Olney Road this summer while it’s still making waves.
