Ideas Wanted for LGBT+ Pride Installation

At the end of June, the Board of Selectmen approved the installation of a temporary rainbow crosswalk at the entrance to the Performing Arts Center to celebrate LGBT+ pride month and to promote the Town’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.  As we prepare to remove the temporary rainbow crosswalk, the Town is seeking ideas from the community for a permanent installation along the multi-use trail. 

The new rainbow themed marking, design, or artwork will be installed on a section of the trail on Iron Horse Boulevard adjacent to the Performing Arts Center and Rotary Park.  The Town anticipates hosting a community event on National Coming Out Day (Friday, October 11, 2019) to celebrate the new installation.  All are welcome to attend and assist with the new installation!   

To submit an idea, please send an email to townmanager@simsbury-ct.gov with a description of the marking, design, or artwork; sample photos or sketches are welcome. The submission deadline is Tuesday, September 10, 2019 by 5:00pm.
