ENLIGHTENMENT: Creatives Emonee LaRussa and Ruben Reveles On Digital Art

Digital art is a simple term for a big topic. It spans everything from iPhone sketches to electronic paintings and mind-blowing CGI. And there’s no need to ship them home to hang on your wall — you can obtain digital art by browsing in virtual galleries and purchasing NFts.

Many acclaimed artists, like David Hockney, have decided to create and exhibit their work digitally, while budding creatives need only look to their smartphones to get started.

We’ll be talking with two creators who are all in on digital art for their careers — they’ll explain the whys and hows of that medium, and how it’s changing up the art world today.

* , motion graphics artist, CEO of Pamanama Studios and founder of youth-focused arts nonprofit JumpStart Designers

* , futurist Chicanx artist focusing on digital and mixed media ethnography

Bring your own questions — no topic is too small or dumb to ask about.
