It seems Fort Point and Fort Point artists are busy with all things art this month, check it out:
What are the 50 State Animals?  In 1782, the United States' founders selected the American Bald Eagle as the official symbol for the infant nation. The majestic, soaring bird and its life in the vast frontier inspired the country. About 150 years later, individual states began choosing their own animal symbols for local representation and regional pride. Each state in the union has at least an official bird symbol. Many states have also selected a variety of other species within the animal kingdom as representatives. The animals reflect their local habitats, regional economic strengths and historical significances. In 2008, Andrew Woodward embarked on the painting project, 'Fifty State Animals.' A piece dedicated to Americana, fifty 8 x 8" panels hang in a grid displaying fifty state animal symbols. Woodward begins each painting with an abstract, patterned backgrounds. He then selects the animals that fit best for each composition. "What is Fifty State Animals," at Made in Fort Point, explains the animals' history for the viewers with prints and is highlighted by an installation of the series.
