Phoenix Rainbow Project
Donation protected
Friends! Family! LGBTQQIP2SAA and all the Munchkins In between !
Help us build A GIANT RAINBOW!
Our goal is to raise 10,000 dollars to fabricate a light weight, durable, tourable work of public art!
In January of this year we built a giant RGB LED Rainbow, 32' wide by 16' tall! We blew audience's minds and melted their eyeballs with awesomeness in a production of the Wizard of Oz!
Following the close of the production we asked to keep the Rainbow to continue to spread the love! The Rainbow appeared at a Galactic Roller Disco, followed by a brief appearance at a regional Burning Man event – ‘Otherworld’.
Designed to be light enough to be suspended from a theatre pipe and flown, the Rainbow was originally constructed of doorskin, framing and coroplast. After two days in the rain forest at Otherworld, we knew it was the end of the road for the rainbow. We decided to burn the rainbow, danced naked around the flames and pledged to build a new one! Stronger, better and brighter! We will call her Phoenix.
The Phoenix Rainbow will be constructed of structural grade aluminium, lit internally with approximately 600' of programmable RGB LED strip lighting and will be faced with a stretch projectable surface! The new cover will diffuse the light evenly and allow for incorporation of projection mapping during installation. We are working with structural engineers to ensure strength and safety and electrical wizards for hardware installation and programming!
Our dream is to display the Rainbow in our communities, across Canada and around the world! Think Festivals! Parades! Skylines! Parks! Floating barges!
Help our Phoenix rise from the ashes so that we can spread the love with this iconic symbol of hope, possibility and togetherness to all!
As incentive and thanks for your support, we have added prizes for different levels of sponsorship!

$25 - A ticket to our upcoming Rainbow Party! - We’ll be throwing parties in Vancouver and Victoria to celebrate the project and thank our supporters!
