Digital Graffiti

This unique Alys Beach art festival and competition takes place during three days in late May each year, during which time contestants submit their original artwork using sound, lights, and movement in an art form known as photon bombing, guerilla projection, or urban projection. Their artwork is then judged and projected onto Alys Beach’s iconic stark-white Mediterranean-influenced buildings in a colorful nighttime display, transforming the beautiful buildings from a blank canvas into larger-than-life art pieces.
