Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach, May 14-16, 2026, transforms the SoWal town into a vibrant and colorful gallery where cutting-edge digital technology brings art to life on its spectacular architecture.
Digital Graffiti is an art festival that employs the latest in digital technologies to project original works onto the town’s iconic white walls.
The collection of events celebrates the creative process of integrating art, technology, and architecture, the New Urbanist town providing the open-air, nighttime gallery space with an exhibition footprint spanning just under one mile.
Roughly 70 works of art are projected onto the canvases of exterior walls and architectural features, pathways, and landscape in a show that combines juried pieces submitted by artists from around the world, as well as those of Residency Artists, emerging artists and creative partners.
