Downstream Designs Mural Unveiling Shuttle Tour
Three artists and one group of youth artsist were comissioned by the City of Arcata to design and paint engaging storm drain murals to bring awareness to our local watershed and the effects of pollution entering through the drains.
Join us this Saturday at the Farmer's market, to take a free shuttle to visit all of the sites, meet the artists and learn more about the project and our local watershed.
