Curious about working in digital art but don’t know where to start? Have a digital art project in mind and looking for the right tools to fit your budget? Join us for a workshop where we’ll dive into worlds painted in ones and zeros with the talented digital artists: Bronson Jacque and Aija Komangapik.

On Thursday, Feb. 16 from 2-3:30 pm ET, they'll be speaking about the different paths they took towards careers in digital arts, and the digital arts projects they’ve been working on–from video games to short films to graphic images. They’ll also be discussing the most helpful tools and methods they used to get started, as well as addressing common challenges such as budget constraints or limited internet access in the North. As always, bring your questions for the artists!

Jacque works in oil paints and digital art, and his pieces have become known for their ephemeral qualities and a loose, hazy naturalism.
