Rain activated art

Rain-activated art, also known as Rainworks by the creator Peregrine Church, is a kind of street art that utilizes a superhydrophobic coating which becomes visible under rain.[1] The invisible, non-toxic and water-based spray lasts up to four months on sidewalks.[2] As of March 2015, there are approximately 25 installations in Seattle,[3] supported by a grant from Awesome Foundation,[4][5] and several more commissioned pieces at and around the Hands On Children's Museum in Olympia, Washington.[1] Church started creating the works in Seattle in May, 2014.[3][6]
