“Homage — Contemporary Art in Digital Media” is on display through Aug. 21 at the Escondido Arts Partnership Municipal Gallery, 262 E. Grand Ave. From Sept. 11 to Oct. 15 it will also be on display at the Art Institute of California, San Diego.

The exhibition is put on by the Digital Arts Guild, which started locally in 2003 and features members from around the world.

The theme of the exhibit asked the artists to look back and recognize “those whose shoulders we stand on,” said Powegian Joe Nalven, one of the exhibit’s organizers.

Through their statements, the artists had to reference the work of another artist or of a cultural concept, said Nalven.

“Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Musical” will be staged four times Aug. 6-8 at the California Center for the Performing Arts in Escondido.

It is presented by the Fullerton Civic Light Opera, which has staged several shows at the venue, most recently a production of “Brigadoon.”

The show, which had a brief Broadway run in 2006, promises a revue featuring many of the songs written for and made popular by Cash, including “Ring of Fire,” “I Walk the Line,” “A Boy Named Sue,” and “Folsom Prison Blues.”

The story follows a group of these ruthless characters, including the titular Rocket, whose youthful looks betray his resourcefulness as a warrior. It’s an often violent depiction, a look a characters that have many dark edges.

In its current incarnation, Rivera has fleshed out this universe — based on an idea she first came up with in high school about 10 years ago — since 2006.

Her work speaks to a dedicated pursuit of her craft. Rivera said she draws during her free time and juggles a 40-hour work week in order to meet her deadlines.

With closed eyes, “La Valse De Virginie” and “Bon Voyage Mon Cheri” transport you to a Parisian cafe — or to in a smokey club with sawdust on the floor.

Others, like the melancholy “Broken Hearted Leg,” feel as if they were the product of walks down city alleyways in rain-soaked streets.

The truth is something different.

Page, the talented singer songwriter who is well-known in the San Diego music scene, recorded the album — as well as “Sleeping Dogs” — in Poway in a nondescript office near the intersection of Poway and Garden roads, across from the 7-Eleven, where he remembers eating many meals.

Earlier this month, the Balboa Park museum inaugurated a new “4-D” theater, which combines 3-D movies with moving seats, lasers, wind and splashes of water to give viewers an immersion experience.

“We’re trying to be more interactive, and we saw this as a way to engage kids,” said museum spokeswoman Jessica Packard.

It took about three months to convert a rear gallery into the 36-seat Zable Theater. It is currently showing two movies in a continuous loop throughout the day. Access to the theater is free with regular museum admission.
