Science meets functional art.
Public RainKeep
Sculptor Allison Newsome’s innovative, functional RainKeep installations can be found all over the world. Each large sculpture has its own name, derived from the story of its purpose, the science behind its meaning, or materials used.
Placed in public spaces such as community gardens and town squares, these standalone RainKeeps each feature a large recycled aluminum tank that can harvest up to 3,000 gallons of rainwater. The RainKeep acts as a “place maker,” much like how a village’s public well creates a gathering place. Visitors are enchanted by its beauty and story of environmental resilience.
