Drop in Art Build at Mystic Open Studio, Arlington

Join us for a monthly climate justice art build at Mystic Open Studios in Arlington from 10am to noon!

This month we are collaborating with ArtsArlington to contribute to a public arts project celebrating herring in the Mystic River Watershed. More details on the workshop can be found below, and as always, we supply the materials, you bring your enthusiasm and love for our planet. Art skills not necessary!

Feel free to wear a mask, but they are not required. If you are feeling unwell, please stay home and join us at a future art build.

Go Fish Workshop February 28, 10 to noon Extinction Rebellion and ArtsArlington invite you to paint a fish or two for Arlington's newest public art project. ArtsArlington will install 2,000 individually painted herring on the brick walls of the Fox Library and surrounding storefronts to celebrate the protection of urban waterways and wildlife, creativity and community. The courageous herring swims upstream from the ocean every year to spawn. A combination of advocacy by the Mystic River Watershed Association and its volunteers, government regulation, and new fish ladders have increased the population of these once endangered fish. Free and open to all; ages 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Go Fish is supported by a grant from the Mass Cultural Council and donations from AlumiGraphics Smooth by FloorSignage, LLC and Blick Art Supplies.
