The Umbrella Sky Project

The Umbrella Sky Project

Welcome to the colorful side of life.

I went to Coral Gables in Miami this weekend to see a traveling art installation called the Umbrella Sky Project. The installation consists of 720 colorful umbrellas, that were hand placed and hung from wires above a shopping plaza. I first heard about the Umbrella Sky Project on Instagram. It has become a popular spot for taking photos and selfies.

This art installation reminded me of the Museum of Ice Cream. The Museum of Ice Cream is a pop up museum that has staged exhibits that are specifically designed for taking photos.

I couldn’t help but smile as I looked up at the colorful umbrellas. There was something peaceful about looking up at them and seeing them sway back and forth. I glanced down and noticed the octagon shaped shadows that the umbrellas casted on the ground. I had never been to this part of Coral Gables before. As I walked around the umbrellas protected the plaza from the sun and made the shopping experience more enjoyable.
