DoNight’s Live Painting Projection Exhibit ‘Shine’ at the Muscatine Holiday Stroll was loads of fun. Even included a surprise impromptu dance party. This is a Looooong photo post…enjoy! Above artwork by Cory Peak.
At the ‘Shine’ Exhibit 5 artists took turns drawing on Wacom graphics tablets. Their work was projected live as they drew onto the front of 129 W 2nd Street, downtown Muscatine.
Exhibit was on Dec 3 at the Muscatine Holiday Stroll
oK, on to the show.
Christine Kuster was up first and she drew a mighty hand of Adam.
An early crowd gathers.

Katie admires her work – as did everyone else who saw it
The view down 2nd Street
At some point in the evening the dance group that Flynn sponsors showed up. Flynn put their music on his somewhat overpowered karaoke float and an instant crowd gathered.
The lily drawing is by Katie. The note might be hers too – not sure.
Flynn and the Magic Bell Karaoke float. Awesome work Flynn.
Karaoke in the cold.
Cory Peak
Cory did the awesome drawing at the beginning of this post. He had the crowd going with this one. He probably did the boombox because of the dance party right in front of the window. Cory is just good like that.
Many Thanks to ‘Shine’ Sponsors

thanks for documenting this. much fun. good event. awesome dance party/circle at the end.
Listening to The Peaks right now.
This was one of my favorite DoNight projects so far. Really great job Andrew and crew.
Thank you Ethan!
I love the way you pulled a varied group of artists together and turned everyone’s efforts into performance art. Way to move forward. Maybe next year you can have more artists involved as well. I’m sure the kids who are interested were watching and encouraged to give it a go at some point as well as the awesome dancers in the street. Excellent event by all!
Thank you Linda! I was very pleased with how things went too. I think you’re right – more people will be ready to try it in the future.
Where did you collect all the artists? Impressive! I’ve never seen anything like it.
“Oh what fun it is to see lighted art being drawn on a wall….in downtown Muscatine.”
I love the photo of the youngsters staring at art being drawn before their very eyes…how inspiring that must have been.
Miss seeing Anna’s lovely bouquet of a dozen red roses! It was one of my favorite drawings.
Wow…how can you top this one, Andrew?
