Join us for a community party to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Andrée Singer Thompson’s iconic sculpture, Guillermo the Golden Trout.
Go Fish! will honor Singer Thompson and wish Guillermo a happy birthday with a so-FISH-ticated line-up of activities including fishing games, fish art-making, live music by Sueños Jazz, and food by Richmond restaurant El Sol. Guests will also have the opportunity to learn about Guillermo the Golden Trout and Andrée Singer Thompson’s artistic practice through an exhibition of her work. (In preparation for the big day Guillermo the Golden Trout received a light revamp earlier this year.)
About the Work: Guillermo the Golden Trout is the prominent fish sculpture that adorns Richmond Art Center’s building. At 50 feet long and weighing 800 pounds, the vibrantly colored sculpture made a big splash when it was installed in 1997 as part of Singer Thompson’s Making Waves – A Ripple Effect exhibition. The work became a permanent installation after it was purchased by Mayor Rosemary Corbin for the City of Richmond using the mayor’s beautification fund. Twenty-five years later Guillermo the Golden Trout is a local landmark, and shorthand for visitors needing directions to Richmond Art Center: “Go to Richmond’s Civic Center and look for the big fish!”
This event is free and open to all.
Go Fish! is Richmond Art Center’s first in-person fundraiser since the pandemic. This event is free, but we’re also selling ‘Golden (Trout) Tickets’ to those who can show their support. Please consider purchasing a ticket for yourself and a community member to enjoy the event. Funds raised will go towards Richmond Art Center’s annual fund, so we can continue to achieve our mission and ensure everyone in our community can experience the benefits of making and engaging with art.
Golden (Trout) Ticket holders enjoy special perks at Go Fish! including a complimentary Guillermo tote bag with goodies and the satisfaction of singing “I’ve got a golden (trout) ticket!’

What does ENOUGH mean to you?
Here are two ways to engage with this idea:
Stitch n’ Bitch: Stitch on a multilingual ENOUGH Protest Banner while reflecting on the many meanings and translations of ENOUGH.
Materials will be provided. No sewing experience necessary.
ENOUGH Considered Portrait Session: Become part of the ENOUGH Considered portrait project by artists Lisa Levine and Anne Wolf. The photo sessions offer an opportunity to write and reflect on the multiple meanings of ENOUGH. After reflecting, each participant is invited to choose an ENOUGH stamp and apply it directly to their body as a means of healing an old wound or violation, as a message of boundaries/protection, or a means of sanctifying one’s own sense of abundance.
Each participant will receive a copy and the digital portraits will be added to the exhibition.
This event is free, open to all, and no rsvp is necessary.
