Rain Drop Art Stop

Title: RainDropArtStop

Artist: Eric Garcia, Andres Guzman, Leeya Jackson, and Violeta Rotstein

Material: Stencil, rain-activated spray

In 2021, 14 designs by four local artists appeared at rail and bus stops when it rained. The designs would then disappear when the surfaces became dry.

Elissa Erickson, Metro Transit’s graphic design supervisor overseeing the project, said the goal was to "surprise and delight" those who find themselves out in soggy conditions. "The thought of waiting for a bus or train in the rain is anything but joyful," Erickson said. "Hopefully, seeing a beautiful piece of art on the pavement will bring a little bit of sunshine to an otherwise cloudy day."
