*Storm Drain Reveal 2012
Last year James River Basin Partnership and the City of Springfield were proud to present Storm Drain Reveal to our community. This unique and engaging educational event, patterned off the successful Rain Barrel Reveal, utilized art to communicate the function and importance of our local storm drains. The project was featured by several local media outlets and gained national attention. We are pleased to announce that James River Basin Partnership and the City of Springfield have once again come together to create Storm Drain Reveal 2012. This exciting project gives artists the opportunity to express themselves with semi-permanent public art in the form of a small-scale outdoor storm drain mural. This project, along with the involvement of our vibrant art community, is unique and has a positive impact on water quality protection. If you are an artist and interested in showcasing your talent for Reveal, read on!
