ArtReach Fish Windsock Project 
For the second year, ArtReach is partnering with the GW Corcoran printmaking department, 11th Street Bridge Project and the National Park Service to provide a series of screen printing and painting workshops and to host a Fish Bike Parade at the Anacostia River Festival.
Inspired by the Japanese tradition of creating carp-shaped flags known as "Koinobori," participants will create a set of fish that can be found in the local Anacostia waters, including the American Shad, Pumpkinseed and Snakehead fish. WIth information provided by GW's Biology department and the Anacostia Watershed Society, these workshops will give participants the opporutnity to learn more about local ecology and participate in a collaborative art-making project.
Many of these fish windsocks will be attached to bamboo poles, connected to bikes, and put into motion at the Anacostia River Festival on Sunday, April 17th.
In this workshop, participants will have a chance to screenprint, paint a fish windsock and take away materials to host a fish making event. Please join us and create a fish windsock of your own!
Rolling 2 hour workshops available from 12:00-2:00pm or 2:00-4:00pm on Saturday, March 5th.
For questions please contact Melissa Green, Director of ArtReach, at mgreen@thearcdc.org
