Now, more than ever, Digital Art needs Digital Leaders.

Today @jeannievu and I are happy to announce the founding of @LACMA’s Digital Leaders (LDL) to advise and support institutional digital art initiatives.

This first of its kind patron group includes collectors, artists, and curators to connect the institutional and emerging digital art worlds.
