''Carp'' Diem: Koi Culture at the Mission

Visitors can enjoy presentations about koi, view paintings of the fish in the Mission's fountains by noted artists and watch interpretive dances as they portray the grace and beauty the koi evoke. Featured for the day will be Richard Wainwright's colorfully illustrated book, Royal Koi & Kindred Spirits. Activities for children include making an origami (paper) koi and creating a watercolor koi wash.
