DIGITAL GRAFFITI 2017 Announces Festival Dates and CALL FOR artist entries. Renowned artists worldwide convene for tenth anniversary digital art festival in Alys Beach

WHAT:
The Alys Foundation is pleased to announce the Call for Entries for the annual Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach, held on May 19-21, 2017. Coinciding with the festival’s 10th anniversary, artists worldwide are invited to submit original works of digital art to be showcased in the juried festival. Artists interested in submitting can find criteria and instructions here. The deadline to submit is February 1, 2017.

Staged along the elegant white walls of Alys Beach, Digital Graffiti provides a large-scale blank canvas for artists to explore the intersection of art and architecture, while also creating entirely new art forms. Once darkness falls, the iconic white walls glow with countless original art projections.

A panel of art and industry experts, led by Digital Graffiti Curator Brett Phares, will spearhead the selection of finalists to be exhibited at the festival and compete for the Best in Show and Curator’s Choice awards. Three honorable mentions will also be awarded.
