Latecomer? No problem! There is still time to register to get a yard sign and appear on the YardArt 2022 map. You don’t have to be an artist, and any weather resistant materials are fair game.
Stop by Hatch to get advice on your project and pick up a YardArt Kit of useful starter tools. You can also get project advice from other YardArtists on the YardArt Facebook Help Group. Hatch Workshops
