Mystic River Watershed Association and ArtsArlington.org invite you to paint a fish or two for Arlington's newest public art project. Learn about river herring and the work of the MyRWA while painting fish for the Go Fish! mural that will be installed on the Fox Library.


Join us on Saturday, April 4 from 2 pm to 3:30 pm at Mystic River Watershed Association, 23 Maple Street, Arlington. 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 endangered fish.


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.


Go Fish! is supported by a grant from the Mass Cultural Council and donations from AlumiGraphics Smooth by FloorSignage, LLC and Blick Art Supplies.
