SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — We’re still months away from a massive art project’s unveiling, but artists are getting to take part in its creation.

The Siouxland Center for Active Generations hosted Wednesday’s public sewing day for the “Razzle Dazzle” by Amanda Browder. She is a New York artist who works with communities to cover buildings with fabric, inspired by the “Dazzle” camouflage used in World War I.

The hundreds of yards of fabric sewn together by volunteers will cover part of the Sioux City Art Center. The project is set to be unveiled during ArtSplash 2024.

Browder says they’re still in need of fabric. It can be any color, with or without patterns. However, it should be a cotton, non-stretchy fabric. Clothing will not be accepted. Fabric donations can be made at the Art Center as well as the following locations:

Heart & Hand Dry Goods Company (3011 Hamilton Blvd, Sioux City, IA 51104)

Hardline Coffee (515 4th St, Sioux City, IA 51101)
