What we’re about
Artists and the Age of AI is a group for artists, creatives, and technologists in Austin working at the intersection of art and AI. We value innovation, human artistry, and the ethical, responsible, and productive use of AI in the development of creative work.
Artists and creatives in all disciplines and at all levels of experience, especially those currently using AI or interested in using AI for their creative projects, are welcome. Our meetups are a warm, collegial, and inviting space to exchange perspectives, opinions, and concerns about the current state and future of the arts, AI, and technology.

What Are the Meetups About?
We host in-person meetups the second Thursday of the month at Capital Factory in downtown Austin. Meetups are opportunities for members to enhance their knowledge about AI, stay updated on innovative tech-centered creative practices, and build professional connections across disciplines of art and technology.
Sessions feature presentations, interactive Q & A's, and group discussions by leaders and experts in the field on different topics addressing:
- innovative applications of AI in creative projects and work flows,
- opportunities, risks, and challenges for artists and creatives,
- how AI is impacting society and challenging our understanding and assumptions,
- leveraging AI for its economic and/or career potentials,
- what AI holds for disciplines in the future.
Meetups are free and open to the public. All are welcome. You do not need a Capital Factory membership to attend.
