Empowering Creative Futures with AI in Art and Culture

AI (Artificial Intelligence) Education Program

8 April - 15 May 2025

Empowering Creative Futures with AI in Art and Culture is a 6-week education program to introduce and explore the growing intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and the arts. This program is tailored for diverse participants—including designers, artists, curators, writers, mediators, and employees in arts and cultural institutions—and provides theoretical knowledge and practical skills to integrate AI into creative and artistic practices.

Through modules combining lectures, hands-on workshops, and critical discussions, participants will gain a deep understanding of how AI shapes the contemporary art world and institutional spaces. The program covers a broad spectrum of AI applications, from generating visual art and curating AI-driven exhibitions to experimenting with AI in writing, sound, and performance.

Participants will also explore AI's ethical implications and future possibilities in the arts, considering questions about authorship, creativity, and AI's role in shaping public interactions with culture. By the end of hands-on workshops, each participant will have created an AI-enhanced artwork, curatorial proposal, or written piece, ready to present in a group exhibition or publication in the future.

This program is designed for those eager to innovate and experiment, using AI as a creative partner or curatorial tool, while critically engaging with the challenges and opportunities AI presents to the arts and culture sectors. The program is divided into modules, each consisting of panel talks and hands-on workshops. At the end of the program, there will be a main panel discussion with the educators of the modules for a wider audience.
