On Tues., December 2 around 20 volunteers from the corporate headquarters of Anthropologie joined students from Alexander Adaire K-8 elementary school to help with a mural arts project. When finished, the mural will be placed on the southern facade of the school and is meant to enhance both the community and student experience. The program is a partnership between Friends of Adaire and Adaire Home & School and is being spearheaded by Art Sphere’s talented artist-educators.

Students from all grade levels helped draw and paint fish with the help and guidance of Anthropologie volunteers. The fish themed mural is meant to coincide with the recent “Feed the Fish” trashcan lid project in Fishtown that was unveiled in late November as a collaboration between the Fishtown Neighbors Association beautification committee and other community-based groups.

Students from each grade level were ushered in at designated time slots to make their mark on the project that is slated to be installed sometime in the early spring of next year.
