Stop by the Arlington Art Truck at the Rosslyn Farmers Market on Wednesday, July 21, 3-7 p.m., to meet local artist, Justyne Fischer!
There you'll meet Justyne, Arlington printmaker and art teacher, and receive free postcards and a zine created by the artist that includes tips on how to write positive letters and messages. She'll even help you to learn about the importance of positive support through the written word — try writing a postcard to an important person in your life while you're there!
To inspire you, the artist has even selected five prominent women educators and activists of varying backgrounds that reflect Arlington’s diversity: Hazel Mahler, Dorothy Hamm, Dr. Evelyn Reid Syphax, Dr. Phoebe Hall Knipling, and Dr. Emma Violand-Sánchez. Use the postcards to write a note to a teacher, mentor, parent, student or community member. Pick up a free kit in Spanish or English at the Arlington Art Truck.
The community partner for this project is the Center for Local History, Arlington Public Library. The Center for Local History and its Community Archives collect and preserve the material that documents the evolving history and culture of Arlington County.
