The Most Beautiful Rain Barrels!

Take a look below at the fabulous contributions to our first ever Rain Barrel Art Project! Every barrel sold to the highest bidder at this year's Home and Garden Show, April 1 -3, with an average selling price of $130. Earlier this year EcoSuperior put out a request for local artists to put their talents to work decorating rain barrels.  The response surpassed our expectations and we had over 30 painted rain barrels up for bids. A total of $4100 was raised, with all proceeds going toward EcoSuperior's Demonstration House, a 1940s bungalow next door to our office that will be renovated to showcase green building products and techniques.  

Below are images of the rain barrels from the First Annual Painted Rain Barrel Auction .  Just click on the rain barrel you wish to view closer up and see an artist's bio and interpretation of their work.  

A special thank you to participating artists, Maaco Collission Repair, the Sports Dome, and the CLE for assisting us with the event.

Thank You Thunder Bay!
