Just Me, Myself & AI: Artists in the Age of Algorithms

A FREE Artist Workshop with Kristen Guest

  • There was a time when our culture’s answer to everything was, “Just supersize it.”

    Today, the message feels different: “Just optimize it.” Optimize your business... your website... your social media... your art.

    For the first time in history, artists can ask artificial intelligence questions that once belonged only to mentors, critics, and gallery directors:

    “Is this painting working?”
    “Will this sell?”
    “What should I paint next?”
    “Am I playing it too safe?”

    But as AI becomes more powerful, an important question remains: How do we use these tools without losing our individuality?

    In this FREE workshop for career-minded artists, join us as we explore the opportunities, limitations, and future of artificial intelligence in the arts with a Q&A session at the end.

    Through conversation, reflection, and practical examples, we’ll discuss how artists can use AI as a studio assistant, business partner, and critique tool—while continuing to trust their own eye and creative instincts.

    Designed for Artists Who:

    • are curious about AI
    • want to work more efficiently
    • wonder about technology’s impact on creativity, originality, and the future of art


    What You’ll Learn:

    • What AI is—and what it isn’t.
    • How AI can assist with artwork.
    • Using AI for marketing and communication.
    • The role of artistic taste and intuition.
    • Why individuality matters more than ever.
    • Questions every artist should (and shouldn’t) ask AI.
    • Practical ways to incorporate AI into your art practice while staying true to yourself.


    Why This Workshop Matters:
    Technology will continue to evolve—but the role of the artist will remain the same. We are not meant to follow the map, but to carry the compass.
