Future Neenah is thrilled to unveil “Last Light: Neenah,” a permanent art projection event that will transform Downtown Neenah’s historical building facades into vibrant canvases through a mesmerizing programmed light show.
The ongoing projection displays will take place on the back patio and alleyway of the Future Neenah office at 135 West Wisconsin Ave. and will run Thursday through Sunday events from dusk until 10 p.m. The display content will rotate monthly, ensuring a fresh and dynamic visual experience. Additionally, special event projections will be featured on the side of Greene’s Pour House at the corner of West Wisconsin Avenue and South Church Street.
This innovation project celebrates Neenah’s rich history and architectural beauty while offering a unique, immersive experience for residents and visitors alike. As the sun sets each eventing, the facade of downtown buildings will come to life with stunning light projections, creating an enchanting atmosphere.
“Our goal is to create an event that resonates with everyone in Neenah, blending artistry and place to remind us of the beauty and vibrancy of our city,” said Michelle Dunning, project lead. “We believe Last Light: Neenah will enhance our cultural landscape while also attracting visitors and boosting local businesses.”
The expertise of Optical Productions, a local projection mapping company, was instrumental in the success of this initiative, ensuring a seamless and captivating display.
