Art Wellness Education: Timucua Talks, Art in the Age of AI | Timucua Arts Foundation
Art Wellness Education: Timucua Talks is a series where you have the chance to join us for monthly panels and discussions.
We will dive into topics related to art, mental health, AI, and other pressing and relevant topics related to art and wellness every first Wednesday of the month.
December: Join an interactive discussion exploring the pros and cons of using AI in art. Consider how AI can inspire creativity, expand artistic possibilities, and make art more accessible, while also raising concerns about originality, copyright, and the role of human artists. Share your perspectives, exchange ideas, and debate how AI is shaping the future of art.
