CHATHAM and DANVILLE, Va. â The Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History, in collaboration with the Danville-Pittsylvania Chamber of Commerce, Danville Parks and Recreation, the River District Association and Sovah Health of Danville, recently announced the plan for its new exhibitâ WANDERLOVE: A Stitch in Time, featuring a yarn bombing July 4 on the Danville Riverwalk. Uniquely, inmates at Green Rock Correctional Center, a level 3 state prison on Beverly Heights Road in Chatham, will contribute to the exhibit.
Thanks to program coordinator Shelby Harrell, Green Rock Correctional Center established a finger-knitting program that is currently in its third year. Harrell was a pioneer in this regard, going on to inspire Nottoway Correctional Center in Burkeville, Virginia, to follow suit after seeing the program s success at Green Rock.
