EmailThe Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts is excited to announce The Rainbow: Certain Principles of Light and Shapes between Forms, will officially launch with a public tour on Friday, June 22 followed by a panel discussion and opening reception on Saturday, June 23, 2012.
Artist Michael Jones McKean will lead the public tour of The Rainbow system and gallery exhibition on Friday, June 22, at 6:00 pm. On Saturday June 23 at 5:00 pm, a panel discussion featuring the entire project team will explore the cross-disciplinary collaboration that made The Rainbow possible. Following the panel, an opening reception will be held at 6:00 pm.
Both evenings will culminate in a simple, but phenomenal, visual event — a rainbow in the sky. These rainbows will be the first in a series of twice-daily events to occur above the Bemis Center at 12th & Leavenworth St. in Omaha, Nebaska this summer. The Rainbow is heavily dependent on weather conditions, so events will only be scheduled 24 hours in advance. Information on upcoming rainbows can be found atwww.therainbow.org, www.bemiscenter.org or using The Rainbow mobile app.
