Event Description:
The Edison Eye presents “Friends of Fish 2”, an art show to benefit the education programs of the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group April 18 to May 3. The show will feature the work of over 70 artists capturing the spirit of fish and its relationship to humanity and the environment. An Opening Reception for the artists and the public will be held April 18, 5 to 9 pm at the Edison Eye Gallery.
This is the second collaboration between the Edison Eye and the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group (SFEG). For gallery owner and artist, Toni Ann Rust, showcasing the art inspired by fish and water while supporting the efforts to preserve healthy waterways for the future is a natural alliance. Toni Ann, along with her husband Dana, were once commercial fishers prior to owning the gallery. The Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group is honored to be chosen to work with the gallery on hosting their last show.
SFEG is a nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging the community in restoring wild salmon populations for future generations. Salmon habitat enhancement is accomplished through habitat restoration, monitoring, and a wide variety of community outreach and education programs. SFEG offers free educational programs to over 1,500 students each year. These opportunities get students out of their classrooms and learning hands-on real science and watershed exploration which otherwise would not be available and affordable to local schools. A portion of proceeds from all artwork sold will go towards supporting these education programs and enable the program to continue to be offered free of charge to local schools.
