About Carole Loeffler and Granny Graffiti
Carole Loeffler is a Philadelphia-based artist who created Granny Graffiti in 2018 while participating in Tuesday Tea & Textiles, a community gathering space in Philadelphia that welcomed anyone seeking warmth, food, art-making, or simply a place to be. Moved by the generosity of that space, she began cutting affirmations from felt, gluing them to vintage doilies, and hanging them on telephone poles throughout the city. The project has continued to resurface in moments of collective need, including during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Loeffler installed dozens of pieces throughout her Germantown neighborhood on daily walks with her family. Loeffler's work is currently on view in the MODA lobby.
