North Adams High School Art Department paintings for Rain Barrel Art Project Seaman, Ohio – North Adams High School students Jessie Crawford and Alyssa Mays, with the creative direction from NAHS art teacher, Trina Stapleton, were selected to paint rain barrels as part of the eighth annual Rain Barrel Art Project, an initiative designed to educate the community about water conservation and pollution caused by storm water runoff. The Rain Barrel Art Project is a joint effort of SaveLocalWaters.org and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. As part of this initiative, community members throughout the Ohio River Valley submitted artistic designs to beautify otherwise dull rain barrels. About 40 of those designs were selected, and the submitting artists now are painting them on rain barrels that will be displayed at the Cincinnati Zoo through the month April and will be auctioned off during the Online Rain Barrel Art Benefit Auction between April 20 - 30, 2021. The e-bay platform will be used to accept bids on the barrels. “Rain barrels are a great tool for conserving water and saving money, but some people are reluctant to use them because of their usually plain, unappealing appearance,” said John Nelson, a representative of SaveLocalWaters.org. “We believe that turning rain barrels into beautiful works of art will make them more desirable, so we’re pleased to collaborate on this event to raise awareness and encourage the use of rain barrels throughout the region.” The rain barrel, “One Drop At A Time”, that Jessie Crawford designed includes orange coy fish on a bright blue background. The rain barrel, “Sweeter Than Honey”, that Alyssa Mays designed includes a bright yellow honey comb background featuring , zentangle bees. The auction will end on April 30, 2021 with proceeds benefiting conservation education in the Ohio River Valley. For more information regarding the Rain Barrel Art Project or SaveLocalWaters.org, contact Sara Fehring at 513-772-7645 or visit www.savelocalwaters.org. About SaveLocalWaters.org SaveLocalWaters.org is the creation of the Regional Storm Water Collaborative of Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky, an organization focused on sharing resources to better leverage mass media and raise awareness concerning water quality issues in the Ohio River Valley. The collaborative is composed of storm water districts, municipalities, and soil and water conservation districts in Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Together, we can keep our waterways clean and healthy.
