2025 Rain Barrel Art Auction

This March and April, enjoy the 40 rain barrels on display around the Cincinnati Zoo, painted by local artists of all ages. These artists donated their time and talent to paint beautiful, functional works of art that anyone has an opportunity to take home. Proceeds from the Rain Barrel Art auction go back into local environmental education. 

To place your bid, visit 23 Auctions here. 
Auction runs April 1, 10am - April 25, 10am.

New this year, four of the forty barrels will be auction off. Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. Purchase raffle tickets here.
