As a local Southern California artist, being part of this festival was invaluable. The speakers were enthralling - all were experts in their particular fields and had a wealth of useful information to share. It was incredibly inspiring and a great way to get involved and meet like-minded individuals. The talented musical performers ROCKED and really brought the party! All the submissions wowed. The event was very well-organized and there was a considerable turnout. I enjoyed having my art submissions recognized with both a Digi award and an Honorable Mention, which is such an extraordinary honor for a juried festival. What a great way to come together and celebrate innovative creativity within the global art community! If you support the arts and love creative expression and want to help expand the art community through Southern California and beyond, DigiFest is definitely a CAN'T MISS event!!!
