“Digital Art – A New Generation” runs at BAC through April 22.

Digital technologies are transforming contemporary fine art, having become a powerful addition to many artists’ mixed media tool kits. This exhibition brings together an exciting group of contemporary artists who reveal the inventive, multi-dimensional array of what’s possible, from collage to encaustic to prints.

Artists include Jeff Brice, Robert Campbell, Nichole DeMent, Dionne Haroutunian, Iskra Johnson, Amanda Knowles, Claudia Meyer-Newman, Barbara Robertson, Stephen Rock and Karin Schminke.

An artists’ reception will be held at 6 p.m. April 5 during the First Friday Art Walk.

Also on display at BAC this month, the art of Larry Halvorsen.

Applying his signature sgraffito carving technique to ceramic vessels, tables, and sculptures, Halvorsen uses primitive motifs to strikingly modern effect.
