Leaping Trout Art Project

If you haven't checked out this great art project happening right here in Phoenicia now is the time. WCA member Dakin Morehouse has his submission in the Empire State Railway Museum. Here are more details about the work.

Leaping Trout Art Project:
The Ashokan-Pepacton Watershed Chapter of Trout Unlimited supplied 29 Catskill artists with an aluminum blank cut-out of a leaping trout to create an image upon it.
The purpose of the project is to stimulate community awareness of the conservation issues facing the Esopus Creek and the Ashokan Watershed. The final works of art will be on display throughout our local community and auctioned off to help raise funds to support the efforts of APWCTU.
