The Reidsville Downtown Corporation (RDC) invites artists to submit designs for painting fire hydrants in downtown Reidsville. The RDC has identified 15 hydrants for this project (more can be added if the response demands). Artists must submit a color design for review by the RDC. The RDC will host a one-day Paint Party for artists to paint their hydrants on SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 and the local community and media will be invited. Artists who cannot attend the Paint Party must complete their hydrant by 2 weeks after the painting party. Selected artists will be added to the list of approved artists for future DREAM projects.   FIRE HYDRANT ART PROJECT DETAILS: The design should be appropriate for a public space.                           What is prohibited on the hydrants? §  Changing the color of the fire hydrant “bonnets” (blue, green or red). The selection committee will attempt to match designs with the bonnet color that will work best with the design. §  Glued or attached objects. §  Camouflage or designs that significantly reduce hydrant visibility . §  Black paint covering more than 20% of the overall hydrant . §  Endorsement of an individual or business. §  Inappropriate or offensive words or imagery. §  Anything which inhibits the function of the hydrant.   Potential design themes include: §  Designs that reflect Reidsville’s history; §  Designs inspired by the work of famous artists; §  Designs with a whimsical or humorous twist that will make viewers smile; §  Context-sensitive designs that would uniquely connect a particular fire hydrant with its immediate surroundings; §  Colorful, abstract designs.                       Oil-based paint will be used on the hydrants (painting supplies will be provided).
