PAINT OUT POLLUTION

Public Art

Sep 11

A collaboration between SCAN and the James River Association.

Did you know stormwater that runs off impervious surfaces, such as driveways, streets, and parking lots, is a threat to the health of the James River? Every time it rains, stormwater carries pollutants into the James River and its tributaries.

Paint Out Pollution is a project that increases public awareness of stormwater pollution and celebrates the native plant and animal species that call the James River home through storm drain art. Virginia artists have created artwork of native plant and animal species that were converted to stencils. Volunteers use the stencils and spray paint to install art on storm drains across the Richmond region.
