Alys Beach, located on Scenic Highway 30A between Seaside and Rosemary Beach is a unique resort community comprised of green standard, white-walled structures. These pristine white walls transform the entire town into a blank canvas for artists participating in the annual Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach.

Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach is the world’s first projection art festival, with artists using the latest technologies to project their original works onto the town’s iconic white walls. Sometimes referred to as “phonon bombing,” “guerilla projection” or “urban projection,” underground artists from around the globe have been using the latest design, animation and projection technologies to cast dynamic images onto skyscrapers and other urban structures as a means of artistic expression. Digital Graffiti at Alys Beach is the first outdoor festival specifically organized to celebrate and showcase these unique talents.

During the festival, Alys Beach opens its doors, courtyards and pedestrian paths to innovative companies and ground-breaking artists who fuse design, technology and architecture into entirely new art forms. These artists will transform the entire town into a living work of art. Each year, thousands of dollars in prizes are awarded to artists, with digital submissions being received from all around the globe.
