Building on a quarter century of vision and dedication by Patrick Carney and an annual crew of hundreds of volunteers, who since 1996 have installed a giant pink canvas triangle on Twin Peaks over Pride Weekend, starting in 2020, Illuminate took on the challenge of creating The Pink Triangle in light.

Patrick Carney,
Artist
Patrick is credited with bringing an increased awareness of Nazi atrocities during World War II to a new generation of LGBT people and their straight allies. Now, Patrick Carney will be honored by the San Francisco Pride board of directors as the iconic pink triangle installation he co-founded marks its 20th anniversary.
Carney is 2015’s Gilbert Baker Pride Founder’s Award recipient, and was selected by the board of the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee. For the 20th year, Carney, assisted by a large group of volunteers, will install the giant pink triangle atop Twin Peaks over Pride weekend, June 27-28.
