Rainbow Connection

I donned all the Rainbow Things:
And went over to bG Gallery to hear a talk by Lynn Segerblom aka Faerie Argyle Rainbow, the woman involved with the creation of the original Rainbow Flags flown for the 1978 Gay Freedom Day Parade in San Francisco.
Lynn doing a mock [waterless] dying demo. Prints of her paintings are on the right wall.
Explaining how she dyed the stars.
Small mockup.
This photo from 1978 shows the scale of the flags -- 30 x 60 feet.
They flew for just one day for the parade.
Lynn's Star Flag (on left) was stolen in 1979 and has never been seen since.
Link to an LA Times article from 2018.

The rainbow theme is carried throughout bG Gallery, with the sixth annual Spectrum Gestalt exhibition, up until July 6, 2019. The salon-style group show of 80 artists has the art arranged chromatically. View the artworks here.
