This all digital media exhibition is made possible by a grant from the Carol Anika Mihalik Foundation

through the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County.   

It is also partially sponsored by a grant from the Cultural Council of Santa Cruz County.

Thank you!

 

Our participating artists represent a diverse variety of digital art forms: 

from a more traditional painting approach, through digital photography collage, historic photo restoration,

animation, robotics, covert art, digital storytelling, new digital music, video, claymation movies and beyond!

 

Each artist will be available on specified days during the exhibition in the Gallery to demonstrate how they

create their unique art using a computer and a variety of software and associated hardware. 

You will get some "hand-on" experience; you can ask questions, and enjoy the exhibit itself. 

This show hopes to educate, excite and inspire our audience,

and is FREE to all who are interested.   Enjoy!
