Assist the Fish -- Environmental Art Installation/Mentoring
Cindy Snodgrass Artist in Residence
No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Signup by: 16-Jan-2006
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Expand a travelling art installation in a collaborative project that transforms public spaces and increases water awareness. No previous art experience is necessary. Have fun painting and building new fish and bird forms, morph the exhibit to other locations on campus, and around our community. Prepare yourself to mentor students and environmental groups at MIT and in the larger Boston community. Flexible scheduling: choose your own level of involvement. (A six-hour time commitment over the course of the week is recommended if you want to mentor in the spring.)
