"BLANKETS OF HAPPINESS" — INFORMATION SHEET

The "BLANKETS OF HAPPINESS" exhibition is a collection of blankets made by communities, whose goal is to connect people, to inspire them and to raise awareness of the power of creative expression. The exhibition is organised by the Blue Hat Project.

Where to from here?
The exhibition will be touring Australian communities from December 2008 to August 2009. Communities are encouraged to add a blanket 'Creation' to the travelling exhibition. The exhibition’s return to Melbourne in August 2009 will be celebrated with a Gala Dinner, and an auction, to raise money. Remaining blankets distributed to homeless people.
