@ Shepton Digi Fest Digital Art Exhibition
Venue: Blue Tower Theatre, Haskins Retail Centre
This year the Shepton Digital Arts Festival is pleased to present a selection of some of the best of the south west's digital artists. The exhibition is less of a gallery experience and more of a hands-on, face to face experience.
The range of work on show reflects how digital technology is often integral to the creative process of producing art in both a commercial and non-commercial context.
Feel free to browse around the exhibition site and interact with the work and the artists.
Many contributors will be on site to answer any questions you might have or to impart valuable advice and guidance. Here is a selection of some of the work on show.
Peter Netley Photography
Peter Netley has two abiding passions in life…photography and travel. He records whatever catches his interest as he looks out for unusual subjects, vibrant colours, interesting textures, and strong shapes.
His images show a distinctly personal view of the world, finding the accidental beauty, the humour and sometimes bathos in the seemingly mundane happenings and objects of everyday life.
Peter will kindly provide a selection of his most recent work to this year's Festival.
