Painted Trash Cans

Who: Steward should have an interest in organizing and communicating with local artists, and be willing to ask for volunteers and donations of materials.
What: Artists paint 55-gallon metal drums for Runnemede Lake Park with nature themes reflecting local flora and fauna. 
When: Spring 2021
Where: The trailheads in Runnemede Lake Park
Why: Providing trash and recycling cans will encourage users of the park to keep it clean. Featuring the art of local artists will bring attention to the park restoration and provide visual interest. It will show the residents that live near the trailheads that we are intent on beautifying and maintaining the park, so it is more enjoyable for all.
How: Buy, find or get 55-gallon primed metal drums. Write and publicize an artist's call.  Offer a stipend. Provide paints or offer to reimburse costs. Provide a space to paint or arrange pick up and delivery of drums. Ask the mayor if he will clear coat the drums at his shop. Write a press release and photograph the artists at work. Exhibit the finished drums before installation. Install drums at the trailheads.
