Artificial or Intelligence?
Talk about artificial intelligence (AI) abounds. Advances in technology have us rethinking thinking and contemplating what it means for a host of issues from creativity to copyrights. Do the possibilities for AI inspire, excite, unnerve, or frighten you? Are you looking forward to collaborating with software in a totally new way, or are you finding that AI-assisted creativity just doesn’t compute? This show invites artists to explore what the future might look like with AI, what we gain and lose, and whether or not machine learning feels artificial or intelligent at the present moment.
People have very different perspectives on the possibilities and perils of AI, and this show aims to provide a space for exploration and respectful dialogue on the topic. Artists are encouraged to create work that captures how they feel and what they think about AI in relation to their artwork and/or day-to-day life. Artists are not required to use AI to create their submission(s), but may do so provided that any use is clearly described and disclosed. Please read the information below for submission requirements. We ask entrants to include a short statement (five sentences or less) about their artwork, and creative approaches are encouraged including poetry, haiku, or even AI-generated text.

Artificial or Intelligence? is open to all area artists; however, Del Ray Artisans members pay a lower entry fee. If you are not a member, you may join Del Ray Artisans now.
Entry to this exhibit is by online submission. Art may be two- or three-dimensional, and in any medium. No strict size limits, but please be considerate of other artists and the physical limits of the gallery before entering oversized pieces. Oversized pieces of merit will be accepted if space permits. If submitting a multi-piece 2D artwork (such as a diptych or triptych), all parts must be framed together into one piece unless cleared in advance with the curator. Art should be ready to hang or display with wire and screw eyes, mounting and/or display stand, framed, matted, or with edges finished. We cannot show work that is not ready for exhibition. Example of a professionally framed artwork with flat screw eyes and wire:

If your artwork hanging system varies greatly from this example, contact the curators. See DelRayArtisans.org/exhibits/art-guidelines for additional details.
