Rain Gate is a bench sculpture that serves as an artistic gateway for pedestrians on the south end of Wake Forest’s downtown streetscape. Serving partially for bio-retention, the artwork has an additional function of celebrating the rainfall that contributes to making Wake Forest “green.” Whenever it rains, the gateway structure gathers enough water to be released slowly down an artistic rain chain for 11 hours or more with an average rainfall. 3 History of Wake Forest FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL

The outdoor mural was created by high school art students from Franklin Academy High School led by art teacher Jamie Moore and mural artist Kelly Sari.
