A rainbow of colour appears over Omaha

Rainbow over Bemis Center
Michael Jones McKean’s
“The Rainbow” Art Project creates rainbows over The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in downtown Omaha.

In clear weather the rainbow will appear twice a day, for 20 minutes, and are created using sunlight, renewable energy and 100% captured rainwater.

The project was a decade in the making and represents a collaboration between irrigation and rainwater harvesting experts, Lindsay Corporation, structural and mechanical engineers, atmospheric scientists, Bemis Center and artist Michael Jones McKean

Quite a beautiful project that will start in early June and run until 15th September.
