Intersection of Art & AI

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we create, experience, and understand art. This juried exhibition brings together artists—primarily from the United States, with select international voices—who are pioneering new forms of creative expression through AI collaboration.

These artists don't view AI as a replacement for human creativity, but as an extension of it. Working across five distinct categories—Architecture, Landscape, Abstract, Religious, and People—they demonstrate AI's remarkable range while honoring established artistic traditions. Each work emerges from a unique dialogue between human vision and algorithmic possibility.

The relationship between artist and AI is one of negotiation and discovery. Some artists use AI to generate initial compositions, then refine them through traditional techniques. Others embed their own photographs, sketches, or paintings into AI systems, creating hybrid works that blur the line between digital and handmade. Still others treat AI as a conversational partner, iterating through hundreds of variations to arrive at a single compelling image. These diverse approaches reveal AI not as a single tool, but as a flexible medium capable of supporting vastly different artistic methodologies.

What does creativity mean when machines can generate compelling imagery? How does artistic authorship shift when algorithms become collaborators? These questions animate every piece in this exhibition, challenging us to reconsider what art can be in our technological age. The answers are not simple, nor should they be. Each artwork offers its own response, shaped by the individual artist's intentions, aesthetic sensibilities, and willingness to embrace uncertainty.

The works gathered here reveal artists at the forefront of transformation—not abandoning tradition, but discovering what becomes possible when imagination meets computation. They invite us to witness art's evolution in real time, to question our assumptions about originality and craft, and to consider how technology might expand rather than diminish the human impulse to create.

Juror Stephen Childs is a Los Angeles-based artist and Professor and Exhibitions Director at Azusa Pacific University, where he has curated exhibitions featuring Tim Hawkinson, Judy Pfaff, and Jason Lee, among others.

Every artist who submitted work to this juried exhibition is published in a catalog available on our website.
