VINS Blends Art and Conservation with the
2nd Annual Art on a Rain Barrel Contest and Festival
 
Quechee, VT – The Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) has joined together with Upcycle Products and Home Depot of West Lebanon to present Art on a Rain Barrel: a free art contest and festival that challenges adults and children to exercise their creativity on behalf of water conservation and stewardship. 
 
The Art on a Rain Barrel contest and festival highlight the importance of rain barrels as a tool that everyone can use to conserve precious water resources. Rain barrels catch rain from roofs, storing water that can be used to care for lawns and gardens or even wash your car.  One 55-gallon rain barrel can help the average household save 1,300 gallons of water in a single summer!  The use of rain barrels also helps reduce runoff that can erode and pollute rivers and streams and saves money and resources that would otherwise be used to pump water from wells or municipal water systems.
 
The festival will be held on Saturday, May 14 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and is open to everyone.  The public is invited to watch as each artist paints their design with paints provided by Home Depot of West Lebanon on a 100% upcycled rain barrel – courtesy of Upcycle Products ( www.upcycle-products.com). 
 
Scheduled to appear at the event is the new Wonders of Wetlands (WoW Express) traveling exhibit from the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge.  All VINS exhibits will be open, and live bird programs will be offered at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. 
 
Registration materials and a complete Art on a Rain Barrel contest and festival schedule are available at www.vinsweb.org.  Artists who pre-register prior to April 30, 2011 will receive a FREE rain barrel.  Questions should be directed to 802-359-5000 ext. 232 or info@vinsweb.org.
 
The Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) is a non-profit, member-supported environmental education, research and avian rehabilitation organization headquartered on Route 4 in Quechee, VT.  VINS’ mission is to motivate individuals and communities to care for the environment with a priority placed on making high-quality, compelling and fun environmental education programs and learning opportunities accessible to more people and communities.  Stay connected with VINS through our nature blog at vtnature.blogspot.com and our website at www.vinsweb.org.
