Storm Drain Art

Help spread the word about the connection between our streets and our streams by painting storm drain art in your neighborhood!

Storm drain art is a creative way to protect our waterways. Through art, you can help engage your community, brighten your neighborhood drains, and raise awareness about the importance of keeping our streets and waterways clean.

These bright and colorful projects are perfect for community groups, scout troops, student organizations, and other residents who want to see healthy communities and waterways in Baltimore.

Why Paint Storm Drains?

Storm drains are the mouths to our waterways. Every time it rains, trash and pollutants on our streets are carried into the storm drains and directly to our streams, harbor, and the Chesapeake Bay. By painting Baltimore’s storm drains, you help to remind residents that our neighborhoods are connected to our streams.
