Arch of Hope, HOTTEA

MINNEAPOLIS – Caribou Coffee and yarnbombing artist Eric Rieger, known as HOTTEA, will unveil Caribou Coffee’s Arch of Hope during the 10th Worldwide InstaMeet weekend. The arch spans nearly 60 feet in length and is designed to inspire those impacted by breast cancer as a part of the Caribou Coffee Amy’s Blend Collection.

The installation represents the highs and lows of the cancer journey. The highest point of the arch symbolizes the true spirit of hope. The many strands of yarn, in 14 shades of pink that span from white to hot pink to deep magenta, mirror the brightly striped packaging for Caribou Coffee’s Amy’s Blend. Each stripe and strand represents one of the many uplifting wishes intended to encourage those in the midst of the cancer journey.

“Everyone has been impacted by breast cancer in one way or another,” said artist Eric Rieger.
