A Digital Art Salon
March 5–May 2, 2021
Digital Art Juried Exhibition
Juror: Michelle Robinson, artist and animator (www.michellerobinson.org)

Overview:The San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) will be hosting A Digital Art Salon from March 5–May 2, 2021, in partnership with the Digital Art Group, an affiliated artist group of SLOMA. This juried exhibition will feature the diverse artwork being created by contemporary California digital artists. SLOMA will also be hosting the first Digital Shorts Film Festival in conjunction with the exhibition. If you are interested in also submitting a digital short for the festival, please visit https://sloma.org/call_for_artists/digital-shorts/

Covid-19 Statement: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art is currently closed. In the event we are not able to reopen in time for this exhibition, a digital exhibition and digital opening reception will be planned. Artists who submit work to this exhibition will be routinely updated as more information becomes available and as the situation continues to progress. 

Juror: Michelle Robinson received her Bachelor of Environmental Design in 1991 from Texas A&M University and continued with graduate studies at Texas A&M’s program in Visualization, producing animated short films that were shown at the Walker Art Center, the Dallas Museum of Art, Imagina in Monaco, and The AFI National Video Festival. She has been an artist and artistic supervisor with Walt Disney Animation Studios for 26 years; her film credits include Pocahontas, Fantasia 2000, Ralph Breaks the Internet, as well as the Oscar-winning films, Frozen and Zootopia. Michelle Robinson’s personal studio practice is a mix of analog and digital approaches, producing physical pieces that examine the home and the domestic as an uncanny space. She has had her work published in The Hand, and Diffusion of Light, and exhibited her work in a curated show dealing with the urban environment at the Brand Library in Glendale, CA, a group show celebrating the 6th street bridge at Art Share LA, and a solo show at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder, CO.
