Seattle Unveils Hidden Art That Emerges Only in the Rain—a Global Phenomenon Grows!

Quick Smiles:

• Eco-friendly spray creates hidden designs visible only when wet.
• Seattle commissions vibrant sea life art at bus stops.
• Rainworks inspires global creativity from Nigeria to Scotland.

In rainy Seattle, artist Peregrine Church invented Rainworks, an invisible eco-friendly coating using nature-based hydrophobic materials that reveals stunning artwork during downpours.

A viral video of water unveiling a hopscotch course sparked massive demand, leading to a successful Kickstarter launch.

The Seattle Department of Transportation surveyed commuters for Beacon Hill plaza ideas, then had Rainworks spray sea lions, an orca, a giant wave, and a 25-foot maze around the bus shelter.

Designs magically appeared with the next rain, delighting riders seeking art and shelter.

Seattle has such a deep connection with rain. It’s integral to the culture and the personality of the city, Church told the Seattle Times.

There’s also a lot of really kind, caring, passionate people here. And so I like to think about rainworks representing both of those things.

Yes, it’s a rainy city. Yes, we have dreary days. But we’re also making the best of it.
