Burien Arts-A-Glow
Burien Arts‑A‑Glow – Event Summary
Burien Arts‑A‑Glow took place on Saturday, September 2026 in Downtown Burien. Artists United was invited to participate in partnership with the Highline Heritage Museum (HHM), and our activity station was located in the HHM Gallery/Conference Room.
Participating Members:
  • Rachel Baker
  • Paul Illian
Event Schedule:
  • Setup began at 6:00 PM
  • Ready by 7:00 PM (event start)
  • Event concluded at 10:00 PM
Activity Overview: We prepared a large outline painting of a unicorn as a community art piece. The space included five chairs, six fluorescent paints, and two blacklights to create a vibrant glow‑in‑the‑dark environment. Community members were invited to sit, paint, and contribute to the artwork.
The activity remained consistently busy until approximately 9:30 PM, at which point the painting was considered complete. The final 30 minutes were dedicated to promoting Artists United and engaging with attendees.
Post‑Event: Rachel Baker took the completed painting home and will refine it before presenting it to the club at the October meeting.
