Rain Barrel Art Show

I am so pleased to announce the success of our first Rain Barrel Art Auction and Revue. In April, MRCN hosted it's first Rain Barrel Auction. We enlisted the help of 10 local artists who donated their time and paint to create some beautiful barrels. The barrels were clear coated by a local auto dealership and placed on display at First National Bank branches in the Columbia area prioe to the public show at Orr Street Studios. Later the barrels were posted to eBay and raised nearly $700 for MRCN and our partnering programs. Thanks to donations from local businesses and the talents of some great central Missouri artists our event was a great success in raising awareness of water conservation and how to make it fun!
