Compete A.I. Co-Create

Opportunity Description
International Deadline: August 8, 2025 – Schelfhaudt Gallery, University of Bridgeport (Bridgeport, CT), announces and open call for entries for its upcoming exhibition on theme ‘ Pushing the boundaries of creativity through artist/AI co-creation”.
Artificial intelligence is overhyped in many ways and the art world has been especially critical of AI, particularly in terms of misappropriation of intellectual property. While those issues need to be addressed, there is undoubtedly a role for AI in the art world. AI can be just another tool, color, or medium for the artist; or it could be a collaborator, or even the artist itself. AI’s speed, breadth, pattern detection, and versatility are potential tools for all types of artists if for nothing else than in the role of ideation: What if? How would this look? What would this sound like? and so on. But many artists will find other exponential ways to chart new paths using AI as a catalyst, willing enabler, or potential collaborator.
AI Co-Create seeks to explore the space where the artist and AI work with–-or even push–-each other to collectively create better art than either could do alone. AI Co-Create seeks to showcase how artists use AI to ideate, explore, create, and refine imagined realities.
Event Dates: October 2, 2025 – October 30, 2025.
