Digital Graffiti Lights Up Alys Beach

As Alys Beach fell into the dis­tance while in the back seat of my friends con­vert­ible, me and my friends, all elated from the night’s event, stared at the stars and won­dered just how can such nat­ural beauty be per­son­i­fied into what turned out to be the most sen­sual soirée of the year. Dig­i­tal Graf­fiti pegged every artis­tic but­ton on my meter. Rethink­ing the evening while feel­ing the breeze across my face and rid­ing along scenic 30-​​A, I couldn’t help but truly appre­ci­ate the eclec­tic nature of Santa Rosa Beach and the pure vibrancy that it brings to those of us who allow it to pen­e­trate our minds, hearts, and emo­tions. To me, Dig­i­tal Graf­fiti not only hits home, it becomes a part of my cre­ative nature and infil­trates my senses in a way that no other artis­tic event can in this area.

The venue alone is enough to trans­port you from here to another exotic loca­tion as it always does with me. Artists from across the world show­cased their mas­ter­pieces of dig­i­tal art pro­jected on the stark white walls of Alys Beach’s com­mu­nity of homes. Cal­iza Pool, a part of Alys Beach, which in itself is a mas­ter­piece, was adorned with col­or­ful images and beau­ti­ful peo­ple danc­ing to music, played by a DJ was who ele­vated on a plat­form over the pool.

All in all, I am, and have always been, a walk­ing bill­board for this event. It is indeed the party of the year and quite frankly, kicked off my sum­mer in the best way pos­si­ble. If you missed it this year, check out some pho­tos and a few videos of the win­ning artists. Truly amazing.…
