			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.valpnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/thumb_digitalarts_california.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-785" title="thumb_digitalarts_california" src="http://blog.valpnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/thumb_digitalarts_california.png" alt="" width="450" height="250" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.digitalartscalifornia.com/?p=1127" target="_blank"><strong>True Colors</strong></a> is an international exhibition at <a href="http://www.digitalartscalifornia.com/?cat=13" target="_blank"><strong>DigitalArts California</strong></a>, curated by  Virginia Christensen, takes place both online and offline and have just  started rolling. I&#8217;m happy to announce some of my personal works are  exposed at <strong>True Colors</strong>, including the most recent <a href="http://hot.valpnow.com/#2381906/Tomorrow-Never-Happened">Tomorrow Never  Happened</a> (Stellar Art Award), <a href="http://hot.valpnow.com/#2545664/Time-is-Gone-The-Brokilon-Dryad">Time is Gone</a>, <a href="http://hot.valpnow.com/#2284590/The-Orchard-Keeper">The Orchard Keeper</a> among  others.</p>
<p>A little bit more about DA:C:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Digital Arts: California</strong> offers artists—as well as art curators, collectors and patrons—a unique new showcase. While most art shows are <em>internet-only</em> or <em>gallery-only</em><em>,</em> <strong>Digital Arts: California</strong> holds international, juried exhibits that are both. Works selected as finalists are shown in online galleries, each devoted to <em>one</em> specific artist, and works that receive top awards are also exhibited  in a physical, “brick-and-mortar” gallery. Artists may offer their work  for sale in both venues, or they may use their solo online gallery  purely as a showcase for their juried works. <a href="http://www.digitalartscalifornia.com/?page_id=2" target="_blank">Read more</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>And True Colors exhibition:</p>
<blockquote><p>The artists and photographers have done it again! They have  embraced our latest show, “True Colors,” and have submitted works that  masterfully weave colors of every hue and brightness through their  fascinating visual concepts. These artists hail from 23 countries,  including 18 states in the USA, and have once again made our show an  international event. <a href="http://www.digitalartscalifornia.com/?p=71" target="_blank">Read more</a>.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>The Depthcore Collective is proud to release it&#8217;s 43rd themed chapter exhibition, <a href="http://depthcore.com/chapter/time/">&#8220;TIME&#8221;</a>.  As we near our 10th anniversary, this seems to be an appropriate  subject for us as a collective to reflect upon. Ten years have passed  by, and the students and teenagers who once populated the group are  gone, replaced by full time freelance artists, independent  small-business owners and focused creative professionals. Finding the  time (oh, the puns are endless with this theme) to create these Chapters  has become increasingly difficult.</p></blockquote>
