Arlington Art Truck: Remembering Little Saigon Event with Arlington Library& Historic Preservation

The Arlington Art Truck is a curated mobile tool box for artists-in-residence to engage the public from April to October in interactive art projects designed to blur the line between participant and presenter, citizen and government. The Arlington Art Truck was nominated for the 2019 Robert E. Gard Award from Americans for the Arts and launched in 2018 with a National Endowment for the Arts grant. SEE & DO: Choose a template family tree and fill in names in your own writing style or use our basic introduction guide to calligraphy. Watch the calligrapher, Felecia Brice McFail, title your tree with your family name and transform it into a piece of art. Get a library card so you can later use the free genealogical resources at the library. MEET: Native Arlingtonian and hand lettering artist Felecia Brice McFail and a representative from our community partner, Arlington Public Library. LEARN: To create calligraphic letterforms and about the genealogical tools our library provides. Explore your family heritage. Please note: If it is rainy or windy, the Arlington Art Truck will cancel. Photo by: Will Reintzell for Arlington Arts @willreintzell
