Paint-A-Hydrant

The Town of Pilot Mountain’s Main Street Coordinating Committee is pleased to announce the Paint-A-Hydrant Program, where the community will be permitted to “adopt” a fire hydrant on Main Street. Your adoption will give you the opportunity to help turn our fire hydrants into works of art. There will be no specific theme for the fire hydrants, but artists are encouraged to incorporate different elements of the community into their art. This program open to EVERYONE! We encourage artists of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, and race to submit designs. We hope to utilize as many local artists as possible (from Surry and Stokes counties).

How the PAINT-A-HYDRANT program, works

Step 1: Complete the Design Sketch form.

Step 2: Fill out your application and upload your design proposal via the online link or by submitting the complete packet to JKindy@PilotMountainNC.Org

Complete packets may also be dropped off at Town Hall 124 W Main Street Pilot Mtn NC 27041 Attn Jenny Kindy Ref Paint A-Hydrant

Design Submission Deadline is Sept 1 2023.

Step 3: A design review panel will be assembled to review and select designs to be painted on hydrants. Selected designs will be revealed Sept 16th at the Pilot Art Walk. There will be a Design Reveal Ceremony during The Pilot Art Walk on Depot Street on Sept 16 2023 at 1pm. | The Pilot Artwalk times are 10am-2pm

Step 4: If approved, you will be able to paint your designated hydrant in the Fall of 2023 or Spring of 2024. We will notify you of the available paint days once your design is approved. We plan to have a Hydrant Map created that shows people where the hydrants are located, what the theme of the Hydrant is, and who the artist is.
