AI for Creative Exploration

Join Nick St. Pierre, co-founder of ArtOfficial, for a two-hour, hands-on creative AI workshop that’s ideal for artists, designers, and creators looking to integrate generative tools into their practice. The session will emphasize experimentation and real-world application over theory. No prior experience is required, only curiosity and a willingness to make things!

Participants will gain a practical understanding of current AI tools available, including LLMs, image, audio, video, and design tools, while learning the "grammar" to effectively use them. Through guided, project-based activities, you'll use these tools for creative exploration and walk away with a solid foundation for future growth.

Participant level: People curious about using AI for creative work. All adult learners. No prior technical experience or AI background is required.

Required materials: Laptop, charger, and access to at least one free LLM platform (i.e., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, etc.)
