Color Rain

This installation is part of a three-site display in downtown Elmhurst called Umbrella Sky. It is made up of thousands of ribbons creating “Color Rain”, and is an extension of the Umbrella Sky Project created by Impact.Plan in Agueda, Portugal. 

 

It is intended to connect the cultural heart of Elmhurst, comprising The Elmhurst Art Museum, Elmhurst History Museum, Elmhurst Park District, Elmhurst University, and Elmhurst Public Library with Downtown Elmhurst. The display is organized by Elmhurst City Centre with a goal of making downtown Elmhurst a destination for art, culture and beauty.

 

Each of the three installations in Elmhurst City Centre has two sessions of installation: one from April to July and another from July to September. Umbrella Sky Elmhurst is a partnership between Elmhurst City Centre and the City of Elmhurst’s Public Art Commission, and this location is sponsored by Lakeside Bank and International Contractors Inc.
