Secret Sidewalk Art In Clearwater
During the summer, a daily storm is almost guaranteed. Instead of letting those downpours keep you indoors, a new project in Pinellas County hopes the dark skies will brighten your day.
Secret works of art are hiding in plain sight on Clearwater sidewalks. The designs and phrases are invisible, only appearing once the concrete gets wet.
“You don’t have to an artist by any measure,” said Clearwater’s neighborhoods coordinator, Juliahna Green.
Families and neighbors can check out the materials for free, and create public art on city sidewalks using stencils and temporary rain-activated paint.
When concrete gets wet, it absorbs water. The rain paint works by creating a superhydrophobic coating on top of the concrete that repels that liquid. The result is an image that stays dry when it’s raining, or you dump water on it.
