We Created the World's Largest Pride Flag

Now Get Ready for Aurora !

Illuminate's "Summer of Awe" in San Francisco is in full swing. WELCOME filled Market Street with 20 powerful Laser Space Cannons to create a 4.1-mile Pride flag for three nights (June 28-30). Next up is Aurora, a vertical spectacle shooting from the roof of the Ferry Building into the sky.

For five nights, begining on Wednesday, July 3, Aurora will feature 20 lasers pointed directly up. All 20 lasers, which will change color throughout the night, will come to a single point at the top of the Ferry Building Tower (245 feet) and then spread back out as they pierce the sky (don't worry, we have FAA approval). 

Aurora is the second of three planned installations across the city this summer as part of Illuminate's Summer of Awe. The final installation, called Grace Window, will feature 25 lasers from the roof of the Fairmont Hotel into the the 25 panes of Grace Cathedral's Rose Window. It is scheduled for July 11-14. As part of the installation, Grace Cathedral will be open to the public, allowing visitors to experience the interior of the church with the lasers coming in. 

Illuminate is seeking to raise $150,000 to cover the cost of WELCOME, Aurora and Rose Window.

Any amount is appreciated and will help Illuminate to continue creating radically-accessible works of public art in San Francisco.

Thank you!
