the 3D art in that area is the only work NOT using chalk. I believe the rain does wash out the chalk art. here is the latest Nate Baranowski in progress:

They seem to have some kind of protective finish on them. The 3D one for example, can be walked over to get photos of someone inside the scene.

These are genuinely impressive. Do they redo them every day/after storms or is there some sort of protective glaze?
