Arts Arlington and ACM invite you to paint a fish -- or two! -- for Go Fish, Arlington’s newest public art project.

Learn about the remarkable recovery of river herring in the Mystic River while painting fish with colorful acrylic paint. In June, 2,000 hand painted fish will be assembled to create a temporary mural on Arlington's Edith M. Fox Library.

 Ages 6 and up are welcome. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.

About Go Fish:
This project celebrates the courageous herring that swim 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 threatened fish -- a keystone species critical to ecological health of the watershed.

Arts Arlington 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.

Go Fish is supported by a grant from the Mass Cultural Council and donations from Floor Signage, LLC/Alumi Graphics and Blick Art Supplies/Central Square.

THANK YOU!
