Call for Artists: Rain Barrel Art

A friend of mine just passed this along to me. It sounds interesting:

From the web site:

In 2010, Cuyahoga SWCD (Soil and Water Conservation District) 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.

Visit their web site for more information and to see decorated barrels and their display location when they become available.
