We are a community of **artists, thinkers, technicians, and curious minds** from all walks of life exploring how technology can serve human flourishing in 2026! Whether if you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional or someone just beginning to navigate our rapidly changing world, this group is for you! The conversations we have at our **“support group for the technological singularity”** are designed to meet everyone at their level of understanding - no technical background required, just an open mind and genuine curiosity about our collective future. How do we preserve community, creativity, connection, and purpose in this new age? Our focus for 2026 is to build out our community into somewhere between a participatory lab, an art salon and a social group. So we will be talking about and experimenting with LLMs, vibe coding and AI generated imagery and sound. We discuss the ethical and cultural implications of this new powerful set of tools as well as trade tips, discuss use cases and share workflows for getting the most out of this new era. We are also open to discussing anything relating to technology, culture, and the arts. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. And I will (as always) be encouraging people to create art and will be translating for non-geeks. So, no matter if you love technology, or if you think it is destroying the very fabric of our society, or if you are just starting to experiment with AI to help better market yourself or your business, we would love to help get you started and/or learn more about your experiences. **Here is a list of the typical topics…** **AI in Media** * Deepfakes, propaganda and the future of media * AI ethics and copyright law * Will AI destroy Hollywood or save it? * Accessibility and story telling **For the Creators (new media and old)** * Discuss releases of AI tools and services * Tips and techniques for prompting * Voicing and animating your characters * Editing and the AI visual effects revolution * Combining traditional filmmaking with AI * How to go viral, fund raising, and SMM **For the Haters (who are welcome)** * Is using AI cheating, where is the line? * Is AI art soulless? What gives art a soul? * How will younger people learn w/o “putting in the work” * How to us AI ethically **AI for Social Change** * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years? * Demonization of knowledge and resources * The 2nd Cognitive Revolution, emergent intelligence * A new age of inhuman efficiency * Unemployment, UBI and the future of “work”

Build a Creative Life That Pays: The Art Career Blueprint That AI Can’t Replace

Sat, Jun 6, 4:30 PM

From Art Lessons at The Coffee Shop

5.0

If you are an art major, a college student, recently laid off, or quietly wondering what your next move should be, this workshop is for you. In this meetup workshop, you gain access to 20+ years of real classroom experience and practical knowledge about building a stable, fulfilling, and well-paid career in art education. This is not theory or vague inspiration. It is clear guidance on how to teach at public schools, private schools, and the college level, what degrees you actually need, what credentials matter, how hiring works, and how to position yourself to stand out. If you are serious about your future, this is a shortcut. If you are simply curious, it may open a door you did not know was possible. Teaching art is not a backup plan; it is one of the most meaningful and future-secure paths an artist can take. Students need mentors, not algorithms. Schools need leaders who can build programs, inspire confidence, and create a real studio culture. This workshop also breaks down how to expand beyond the classroom through private lessons, selling artwork, online content, crowdfunding, and other art-based income streams. You will walk away with clarity, direction, and a realistic roadmap. For the price of a dinner out, you can gain insight that took two decades to build. Whether you are exploring or fully committed, this is an opportunity worth stepping into. https://www.mrsonartclass.com/ https://www.artofericson.com/

But their frustration ends at our front door! Whenever an Artist speaks about a "linage" of instruction, it is a proud declaration of where their knowledge came from. Ours is a fusion of Northern European, Classical Italian and California Impressionism. With this background we can hone in on an individual's choice of style once foundations in painting are achieved. The first “initiation” exercise that students in this class must accomplish is our Compass Rose exercise. This skill-based exercise teaches the student so many lessons; first, basic skills like brush strokes, values, color mixing, blending, glazing and much more. We work with a limited palette of colors and then modern pigments for final glazing. At the end of this project the student will be introduced to a new way of “seeing” and develop a visual language which will last a lifetime. The next exercise is a tradition that has been practiced for centuries... copying old master paintings. It’s as if Di Vinci himself were sitting on your shoulder and speaking to you, revealing his secrets from centuries past...and is now your teacher ...and all you have to do is listen. After a series of master paintings, I encourage students to explore many other styles. Palette knife paintings, landscapes, still lifes and to explore images that move them in some way but to continue to use and apply the principles that they have learned in their previous exercises. **What You Will Learn** Renaissance Painting Techniques Produce monochromatic studies while learning about values Alchemy of materials and mediums How to apply color & how to mix paint Glazing Secrets Explore various painting styles Live demonstrations and personalized instruction to help you learn faster **You must bring your own materials.** Get the supply list here ([https://www.klineacademy.com/supply-lists](https://www.klineacademy.com/supply-lists)) **Cheryl Kline**, founder and owner of Kline Academy is a working artist whose works are found in the collections of noted individuals and institutions around the world.
