During the pandemic when families in Philadelphia couldn’t go out to play, children helped bring joy to neighbors by displaying rainbows in windows from inside their homes. Created in a partnership between Please Touch Museum, Temple Contemporary at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, and Philadelphia Contemporary Double Rainbows is an in-person and online exhibition of these rainbows.
After the exhibition the drawings were given to families across the city, who lost a loved one to the coronavirus, as a show of caring and compassion. Rainbows have also beeen distributed to partnering hospitals to brighten up COVID wards.
