Last Thursday, March 5, 2011, the Autodesk Gallery hosted a private recpetion for the Digital Canvas exhibition. With over 100 guests, including contributing artists, guests and local media, the exhibit was unveiled in a highly intimate and social setting.
Looks like a great reception.
Autodesk is planning a public exibition showcasing art made with any flavor of SketchBook, including iPad and iPhone versions. From their blog:
We are looking for all types of artwork and illustrations from any of the SketchBook products and platforms! Email us your sample images by attachment or web links at mobileart@autodesk.com by Thursday, March 24th, by 5PM PST.
It’s a curated show, place and time has yet to be announced. For more info check their post.
Visitors of the SXSW should stroll down to the Austin Details gallery where work of 28 great mobile artists will be shown:
Visual artists are creating art with their iPads and iPhones that blurs the line between painstakingly-executed original oils-on-canvas and fine art, digital-style. Our exhibit shows it off on iPads, on our iMacs, on our 58″ HDTV and as fine art prints (made as pigment-based archival inkjet prints on our Epson Pro Stylus 9900 professional printer).
Artists were juried after paying an ‘entry fee’ of 35$. The show runs through march.
Guilford, Surrey was the epicenter of experimental art last weekend when Guildford College and other local venues hosted a groundbreaking roadshow bringing mobile digital artists from around the world to work together. The three day event (February 11-13), sponsored by Adobe Sytsems and organised by college lecturer Paul Kercal in collaboration with the International Association of Mobile Digital Artists (IAMDA), began at Guildford College on Friday with a “next generation” life drawing class for art, graphics, photography and IT students in which tradition met technology. Drawing on iPad using fingers or Pogo styluses, students used art apps to create pictures of models from the respected Brighton Life Drawing Sessions team.

If you wanna meet a bunch of mobile artists and app developers, make sure not to miss Future/Canvas – the emerging medium of iPad art, on Dec 4th 2010. From their site:
“It has been less than a year since the release of the iPad and already it has inspired an exciting new world of digital art. Artists and programmers are using the iPad as a digital canvas and are creating radical new artwork that pushes the bounds of imagination. Come experience this emerging medium first hand with three exhibits showcasing some of the most stunning art from this exciting new medium.”
The show is still open for submissions, if you’re interested in displaying your art, please contact Josh Michaels directly. Josh was also so kind to offer a promo code to our readers: if you use fingerpaintedit you’ll get half off tickets when registering. Open gallery from 8:00pm – 2:00am, 25$ per ticket.
Artist Mia Robinson is extending “touch” beyond our devices and taking it into the lives of abused women through “A Healing Touch: Digital offering of Peace to Women Survivors“. The international mobile digital art exhibition features works by 25 fingerpainters, all created to inspire hope and healing in women survivors (and victims) of violence, abuse and oppression. The show and fundraiser for Ocean Ana Rising Inc, a non-profit organization empowering women through the arts, runs from August 20th through September 4th, 2010 and includes a private opening reception (August 20th, 6:30-8:00pm) and Outreach workshop, “When Left to Your Own Devices” where Mia will be teaching 15 teenaged girls how to paint on iPads and iPhones.
To raise awareness about the global issue of violence against women and the upcoming exhibition, Mia will be blogging and tweeting facts and statistics daily on her website. You can follow her on twitter.
To purchase tickets to the opening reception or to find out how you can support and/or participate (there is a private flickr group for additional artists who’d like to contribute eir own offerings–the group will be featured as a slideshow during the exhibition), visit www.mrobart.com/ahealingtouch.

It’s still a road to go, but planning for first Mobile Art Conference in history is progressing. This is what we (Kara, Mia, John, David, Christine, me) are having established so far:
The con will take place at Tisch School of Art, whose mission is
to explore the imaginative use of communications technologies — how they might augment, improve, and bring delight and art into people’s lives.
Sounds like the perfect place for the cause.
The main conference will be from 23-24 Oct 2010. As the con will be part barcamp, part scheeduled, there should be enough room to learn, listen, paint and share.
As a very pragmatic need (renting a venue e.g.) the “Int’l Assn of Mobile Digital Artists”, short iamda has been founded. It’s a non-profit organization and open to all fingerapinters in the world. Head over to iamda.org, fill out the form and become a member today. Since this is all pro-bono work so far, please consider how you can contribute to make this a great con:
(there’s a paypal button available)Any questions, suggestions, worries? Please share!
