Join us Thursday, May 6th at Noon for “The Art of Digital Graffiti.” This virtual event is part of Art on Demand, a creative connection series brought to you by the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) in partnership with Alys Beach, 30A.com and Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs.

Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach is a one-of-a-kind projection art festival where artists from across the globe use the latest digital technologies to project their original works onto the iconic white walls of Alys Beach. In 2021, the festival celebrates it’s 14th year. In this episode, we go behind the scenes to learn more about the origins of this highly anticipated event and what it takes to create this unique experience through a discussion with Alys Beach Event Director Alexis Miller, founder of 30A.com and creator of Digital Graffiti Mike Ragsdale, Brett Phares Digital Graffiti Curator and local artist 2021 Digital Graffiti finalist Jonah Allen.

Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach, which is a part of Art Month South Walton, is a festival geared towards bringing these artists together in one place to celebrate and showcase their unique talents. Each year, the festival attracts digital artists, filmmakers, musicians, interactive designers, photographers, VJs, producers, celebrities, agency executives and fans of art, technology and architecture.
