A Satellite of the worldwide Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project created by Margaret and Christine Wertheim of the Institute for Figuring in Los Angeles. A coral reef in Indiana? Absolutely! Volunteer crocheters from across Indiana will create all aspects of a real coral reef. This fall the Indiana State Museum, in partnership with the Indianapolis Crochet Guild, presents The Indiana Reef. This unique display is sure to intrigue art enthusiasts, nature lovers and crafters. But how does coral connect to Indiana? Visit The Indiana Reef this fall to find out!
The Indiana Reef is just one of many satellite reefs that have been exhibited around the world. Local citizens create the satellite reefs with assistance and guidance from the IFF. If you would like to help create our reef, please contact Carol Frohlich of the Indianapolis Crochet Guild at crochetcoral70@lightbound.com. Volunteers will receive recognition for their participation!
