The Printing Museum will be hosting a gyotaku fish printing activity! Gyotaku (meaning “fish impression”) is a form of nature printing where each print is one-of-a-kind and originally used by Japanese fisherman to record their catch. Come learn about this fun form of printing and make your own unique fish prints; we will be using tempera paints and silicon fish molds (sorry, no fresh fish).
Join the University of Houston for a free, all-ages event featuring a new mural by Houston artist DUAL, part of UP Art Studio’s city-wide Big Walls, Big Dreams Festival. Meet the artist and explore his colorful creations. Join Break Free Worldwide for a breakdance performance and workshop, leave your mark on a collaborative Art Wall, move to the music and take your own DJ skills for a spin. Create a unique gyotaku print with The Printing Museum’s teaching artists and make art-inspired crafts take home. Purchase a picnic lunch from the Allseason Eats Food Truck and enjoy a complimentary snack courtesy of UH Dining Services.
