ANGOLA, Ind. (Indiana’s NewsCenter) - Collecting rain is now an art form thanks to rain barrels, provided by the Steuben County Soil and Water Conservation District.

The rain barrels are in Angola's Public Square.

Habitat for Humanity and Rise are teamed up to decorate those barrels and turn them into pieces of art.

Eighteen rain barrels were officially unveiled in Angola over the weekend to mark the beginning of Rain on Angola 2011, turning rain barrels into works of art to ultimately benefit Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Indiana and RISE.

The barrels will be on the Public Square in Angola until they will be auctioned of on the evening of Thursday, September 1st.
