Art and Science on the River: Carp

Saturday, April 19, 10–12:30 pm, Mississippi Watershed Management Organization, 2522 Marshall St NE. This workshop will start with an informative presentation from Colleen O’Connor Toberman, a local expert on carp in the Mississippi River. Artist Kimberly Boustead will demonstrate carp printing with a few different types of carp and then participants will have time to try their hand at carp printing, carp-inspired drawing and creative writing. Walk away from this workshop with art to share and a better understanding of the impacts of invasive carp on river ecosystems and what can be done to manage them. This workshop is a collaborative effort between the MWMO and Friends of the Mississippi River. The event is free, but registration is required.
