Digital Art Exhibitions: What’s Showing and Why It Matters

When you think of a gallery, you might picture oil paintings on canvas or bronze statues on pedestals. But digital art exhibitions, showcases of artwork created or displayed using digital tools, often on screens or interactive installations. Also known as electronic art, they’re no longer rare—they’re becoming the main event in places like Pembrokeshire and beyond. These aren’t just slideshows or pixelated copies of traditional art. They’re original creations made with apps like Procreate, Krita, or Adobe Fresco, often shaped by AI, touchscreens, and real-time data.

What makes digital art exhibitions different? For one, they’re alive. Some pieces change with the weather, respond to your movement, or evolve as more people view them. Others use AI as a collaborator—not to replace the artist, but to stretch what’s possible. You’ll see works where an artist trains a model on Van Gogh’s brushstrokes, then guides it to paint a new Starry Night over a Pembrokeshire coastline. It’s not magic. It’s technique. And it’s being shown in galleries, pop-up spaces, and even coastal cafes around Wales.

You don’t need a fancy tablet to appreciate these shows, but you’ll notice how many artists rely on them. The same tools that let someone sketch a portrait on an iPad are now being used to build immersive environments you walk through with your phone or VR headset. And it’s not just about the tech—it’s about the intention. The best digital exhibitions ask you to think: Is this art because it’s made by hand? Or because it moves you? That’s the question behind the rise of AI-generated art and why museums are now collecting digital files like they once collected oil on canvas.

What you’ll find in the posts below isn’t a list of upcoming shows—though you’ll find those too. It’s the deeper story: how digital art is made, what tools artists actually use, why some say it’s not "real" art (and why that’s changing), and how you can tell a professional print from a cheap poster. Whether you’re an artist trying to get into an exhibition, a visitor curious about what’s on display, or just someone wondering if your phone can be a canvas, this collection gives you the real talk—not the hype.
