Center for the Arts: Paint-a-Hydrant Competition

The Center for the Arts, in partnership with the Village of Homer, will host its first Paint-a-Hydrant Competition in 2017.

Be a part of a new experience that will spark your artistic brilliance! You could be selected to paint your winning design on one of five fire hydrants designated by the Village of Homer.

Winning designs are chosen from two categories:

Youth Category (students in grades 6 – 12)

Adult Category (18+)

To participate, artists must create a 2-D design on the provided application form (see below). Designs will be placed on display at the Gallery at the Center for the Arts for one month (June 2017), and the greater community will be invited to vote for their favorite designs. Two designs in the Youth Category and three designs in the Adult Category will be selected by majority of votes.

Winners will implement their designs onto the fire hydrants during July and August of 2017, with paint and supplies provided by the Center for the Arts.

Entry fee of $3 for members/$5 for non-members.

One submission per participant.

All submissions will be due by May 31, 2017.

You may send your submission and application fee to: 72 S. Main St. Homer, NY 13077, or drop it off at the Center for the Arts offices Mon – Fri, 10am – 5pm. Please make checks payable to “Center for the Arts of Homer.”

Let your artwork be a part of Homer! We encourage everyone in the community get involved and hopefully be a part of a tradition for years to come.
