Teens created public artworks that would appear on rainy days. Teens drew and cut stencils of their artwork and used them with Rainworks Invisible Spray to create artwork on the sidewalks that were invisible until wet. Teens designs aimed to provide something positive on rainy days. These artworks were temporary, lasting about 3 months, before biodegrading.
