Growing with Brookfield 

Rain Barrel Exhibit Summer 2024

Together with the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce, we are thrilled to coordinate the "Growing with Brookfield" rain barrel exhibit. We have 11 talented artists collaborating with 11 generous sponsors to create custom-painted rain barrels. 

From June to September, these unique rain barrels will be on display across Brookfield. Each rain barrel is a testament to the creativity and talent of our local artists, made possible by the support of our sponsors.

Bid on Your Favorite!

See one you love? There will be an opportunity to bid on these stunning rain barrels at the Brookfield Fine Arts Festival. Imagine having one of these artistic pieces in your backyard, serving both as a functional item and a beautiful piece of art.

This exhibit would not be possible without the support and collaboration of our wonderful partners:

Village of Brookfield Illinois

Brookfield Chamber of Commerce

Douglas Auto Body

3rd Thursdays

Every Third Thursday of the month the BA Collective hosts artists' meet-ups! These are fun low-key events for artists to meet other artists. We hang out and make art. The location and project change every month so be sure to follow us on Facebook or Instagram to find out where we are this month!

About us

Started in 2021 when Shannon and Terri realized the artist community they were looking for could be built. We can't help but create & make -- we want a community that nurtures that . . . so here we are - building what we have been looking for. 

Our goal with this group is to bring the artists together in order to help foster a community of growth. Create a space to share knowledge and challenges, collaborate and uplift. In addition, we strive to bring more authentic and cool art to Brookfield. 

The Brookfield Artist Collective is a volunteer run organization. If you are interested in helping out you can email us for information.
