2026 Rain Barrel Art Auction

Each spring, local artists paint rain barrels to display around the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden.

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 Project support local environmental education. 

One barrel from our April auction is still up for bids, and you can now bid on it.
