  2. Barrels of Hope Submission Guidelines
    Participants will be provided with an aged oak barrel to be painted, sculpted or decorated. Designs should be consistent with the theme hope and inspiration or the Village of Flossmoor’s theme, “Welcoming. Beautiful. Connected.” Guidelines and suggested materials are noted on the website. FEE: Barrels will be provided at a cost of $25, which includes the cost of sealing the completed barrels with a clear gloss lacquer after they’re completed for added protection. Fee for approved designs will be collected at barrel pick up. Barrels are the property of the Village of Flossmoor and remain so until the barrel is delivered to the winner of the auction ending September 11, 2021. Art shall not depict things that are violent, offensive, profane or discriminatory; or feature images or text promoting a private business or citizen. The use of dangerous or unhealthy materials is prohibited (i.e. broken glass, rusty nails, rotting food, etc.). The Flossmoor Public Art Commission reserves the right to refuse any designs deemed inappropriate for any reason. If you have a question, please contact info@flossmoor.org.
