I understand that: *

Artwork does not need to have an environmental theme. However, avoid designs of a political, religious or sexual nature. The paint on the rain barrels takes much longer to dry than typical artist mediums. I will avoid heavy layering of paint and thick areas, as it results in the paint peeling up. When my barrel is fully dried (at least 48 hours), I will apply at least two coats of protectant (provided). I will let the barrel fully dry between coats (24 hours). I should have completed painting by July 20th to allow for top coats and one full week of drying time before delivery to Carmel Water Utilities. Once my barrel is painted, coated, and dry, I must return my barrel, in the original box, to the drop off location between M-F 8-4:30 by July 26th.

Applications will be reviewed as received. If you are selected to paint a barrel, you will receive an email from Claire Lane authorizing you to pick up a primed barrel.

If you have not previously participated in ROM as an artist, please email some photos showing examples of your work or a link to your website to claire.lane@hamiltoncounty.in.gov.
