THE DALLES — Families can pick up free fish-making art kits at The Dalles Art Center (TDAC), starting today, June 20.
The School of Fish program provides free take-home art kits, with instructions to make colorful paper salmon. Participants are invited back to TDAC for a School of Fish party on September 7, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., to hang their paper salmon in the gardens.
The program is sponsored by Wasco County Cultural Trust. Volunteers and individual donors provided time and resources to create the kits.
Stop by TDAC from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, to pick up a kit while supplies last.
TDAC also offers Kids Create! every Saturday — drop-in art classes from 10–12 p.m., all summer.
TDAC’s six-week Summer Art Camp also kicks off on June 25.
School of Fish kits include resources to make it easy for families to keep learning about salmon and explore the region. Salmon are a vibrant part of the Mid-Columbia Gorge area’s cultural history and ecology, and School of Fish celebrates this, and the remarkable ecosystem they inhabit.
“What I love most about School of Fish is that it gives families in our area a way to engage in creativity and art at home and to then come together, like a school of fish, to create a public art display that celebrates kids’ art!” said Pam Westland, TDAC Board President. “... I cannot wait to see
the fish ‘swimming’ in the gardens at TDAC. #GoFish!”
