[Digital Arts] Galway - Culture Night 2024: Let’s Draw

Let’s Draw will transform Galway’s iconic Spanish Arch into an interactive canvas where the public becomes the artist. Taking place from 9PM pm to midnight participants of all ages are invited to use their smartphones as drawing tools. Creations will be projected in real-time onto the Comerford House building, forming a tapestry of light and colour that evolves with each stroke.

Renowned French artist and technologist Maxime Touroute has developed the cutting-edge technology that powers this interactive experience. His intuitive web-based interface allows anyone, regardless of artistic ability, to contribute to the collective artwork. Special guest artists from the Galway Cartoon Festival will participate alongside the public, offering guidance and inspiration.
Themed drawing prompts will encourage collaboration and ignite a shared sense of creativity.

Let’s Draw is open to everyone, regardless of artistic experience.

A limited number of drawing devices will be available for those without smartphones.

‘Painting Mirror’ is part of the Digital Arts – Créativité & Innovation Tour presented by the French Embassy in Ireland in association with Irish cultural partners during September 2024. This initiative aims to strengthen France-Ireland collaborations in innovation, new technologies, and creative digital arts. The tour features public immersive experiences with live interactive mapping displays, along with skills development workshops in Dublin, Galway, Tuam, and Ballina.
All events are free.

’Lets Draw’ is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, and is part of the ongoing development and enhancement of Galway City’s thriving Night-Time Economy.
