Deadline for Submissions Extension: January 10, 2025

Virtual Exhibition: Spring 2025

Submit Artwork

The Biggio Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in partnership with the Department of Art and Art History is announcing a curated, virtual AI art exhibition from students, faculty, and professional staff of the higher education community in Alabama.

As artificial intelligence undergoes rapid advancements, continuously expanding its boundaries, purpose, and cultural impact, the Biggio Center is eager to explore the possibilities where technology converges with creativity. Through this exhibition, we aim to explore how artistically skilled individuals use these new sophisticated generative tools.

This exhibition further asks what success and challenges are like as forms to generate academic discourse on these powerful new tools. 

We look forward to celebrating creative submissions from the following categories:

  • Reimagining Classics Invite artists to use AI to put a modern twist on classic artworks or styles from art history.
  • AI as the Creator Challenge participants to create artwork entirely generated by AI, exploring the concept of AI as an artist.
  • Machines and Nature Asks artists to use AI to depict the relationship between technology and the natural world.
  • AI Happy Accidents Asks artists to show us the prompt and response of their best AI failures.
  • Art of the Future Have participants envision and create art representing their interpretation of art in a future world shaped by AI and technology.
  • AI and Human Connection Explore how AI connects people through art, asking artists to create pieces emphasizing human-AI collaboration.
