This spring ArtsArlington partnered with the Mystic River Watershed Association to create a participatory mural project which utilizes the creativity of our local community to celebrate the return of the herring to the Mystic River. The project, called Go Fish!, involved community members painting 2,000 fish, which have been installed in groups on storefronts in Arlington for the public to discover and appreciate.
13FOREST Gallery has enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership with ArtsArlington, and as a part of this project we are hosting an event at the gallery on Saturday June 13 from 4-6 pm to celebrate the herring installation on the Edith M. Fox Library, which includes fish made by our 13FOREST artists. To mark the occasion, Public Art Curator Cecily Miller will provide some insight into how she developed this project, and then local poets Terry Carter and Steve Rapp will present poems inspired by our local waterways.
