Griffith Pioneer Park Museum's first night time event in living memory was an explosion of colour
Projection artists worked alongside a cohort of local students to develop the Night At The Museum event with Riverina-based arts organisation Red Earth Ecology and visitors the Bioluminescence Project.
The Museum's historic and replica buildings were bathed in large-scale animations with a variety of styles and materials.
Locals Andrew Keith and Bernard Gray were joined by regional artists Jason Richardson and Greg Pritchard.
Scott Baker returned to Griffith to run workshops in video projection-mapping and digital file manipulation.
The group of eight also learned skills in design and event management for the public outcome on Saturday night.
An audience of over 160 people from all ages attended and were able to appreciate the diversity of projection art techniques.
Mr Gray was demonstrating live-coding, while Dr Pritchard showed material from his project recording the Murrumbidgee River.
"It was beautiful to see Greg brought the River to the old Baptist Church building," said Jason Richardson, event coordinator and Museum Curator.
"Scott and I were also happy to be joined by Andrew Keith, who attended the first projection-mapping workshop that we ran in Griffith back in 2016."
The opportunities for night time events at the Museum offers a range of possibilities at a venue traditionally used during the day.
"The buildings provide a wonderful environment and we'd love to see Griffith continue to host showcases for projection art in the region," said Mr Richardson.
Night At The Museum was supported by Griffith Pioneer Park Museum, Red Earth Ecology, Western Riverina Arts and Create NSW through funding from the NSW Government.
