Rain Barrel Art - CALL FOR ARTISTS
In 2010, Cuyahoga SWCD will be hosting a rain barrel art program. Barrels will be distributed to local artists in March 2010. Artists will have 2 months to paint the barrel in any way they choose. Barrels will be returned to Cuyahoga SWCD and they will be displayed around the county with signage about the importance of rain barrels and an artists statement about the design. In October 2010, the decorated barrels will be auctioned to the public. Proceeds will go to support the ongoing efforts of the Cuyahoga SWCD conservation education program.
