Artisphere Yarn Bomb Brightens Rosslyn's Streets. Cupid's Garden Sculpture (intersection of Wilson Blvd., Nash St. and Oak St.) More than 1,000 colorful, hand-stitched geometric shapes adorn six trees along Wilson Blvd., between the Rosslyn Metro and Artisphere, Arlington’s visual and performing arts center. An additional installation, featuring vines, flowers and 19 animals of all shapes and sizes, surrounds Cupid's Garden at the intersection of Wilson Blvd., Nash St. and Oak St. The Artisphere Yarn Bomb is the first of three temporary public art projects launched by the Rosslyn Business Improvement District this spring in partnership with Arlington Public Art. The artworks were created by more than 130 community volunteer knitters and crocheters from the greater Washington, D.C. area, of all ages and skill levels.
