Global Rainbow Art Installation Lighting
Event Details
Palm Springs Pride presents Global Rainbow Art Installation Lighting.
Palm Canyon Drive Comes Alive with Yvette Mattern's Art Installation
The Festival will boast a spectacular art installation presented by Lighthouse Dispensaries Palm Springs & Coachella. American artist Yvette Mattern’s Global Rainbow, a laser light sculpture will be a featured attraction during the Pride weekend festivities. This is a free program and accessible to all.
The large-scale public art light installation aims to celebrate our diverse communities and symbolize hope and peace. Seven rays of laser light represent the spectrum of the seven colors of a rainbow. The same colors are found in the Gilbert Baker rainbow flag, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
The artwork will utilize specially designed lasers to project a large-scale abstraction of a natural rainbow. Originating from high above Palm Canyon Drive at Amado Rd, the seven parallel beams of laser light will hover above Palm Canyon Drive as far as the eye can see until they finally diminish to a colorful glow over South Palm Canyon.
The exhibition’s west coast premiere will run two consecutive nights, beginning November 5, 2021.
