Global rainbow installation

The artwork will utilize specially designed lasers to project a large-scale abstraction of a natural rainbow. The seven parallel laser light beams 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. We are grateful to have the support for this installation from Lighthouse Dispensaries.

Their support of the arts has made it possible for the Global Rainbow debut in Palm Springs. It is hugely important people do not travel to see this installation — the joy of this special visual artwork is that it can be seen safely from the homes of those living nearby by simply looking to the sky.

Global Rainbow beams seven rays of laser light Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet representing the colour spectrum of a natural rainbow and will be shone northwest out the city over the New Year period.

The rainbow beams can reach up to 10 miles on a clear night, and this evening could be seen in central Birmingham , the Jewellery Quarter and areas of the Black Country.
