Train ChatGPT as Your Studio Assistant:
An Introductory Workshop to exploiting Ai
This one-day workshop introduces artists to using ChatGPT as a powerful and flexible studio assistant to support both creative development and professional demands. We'll explore how to collaborate with AI to brainstorm new work, write and edit artist statements, craft compelling grant and residency applications, organize projects, plan exhibitions, and develop teaching materials or syllabi. You'll also learn the art of prompt writing—how to shape questions and commands that generate useful, nuanced, and imaginative results. Whether you're juggling studio time with teaching, curating, or community work, this workshop offers hands-on strategies for integrating AI into your practice with clarity, intention, and creativity.

Off-Times: TAAS Newspaper ISP
with Amber Imrie
Off-Times TAAS Newspaper ISP invites artists to explore the intersections between text, visual practice, and publication.

The cohort meets bi-weekly over the course of 5- months.
Masterclass with Nato Thompson
An Independent Study Program in Artistic Practice and Inquiry
This five-month Independent Study Program is a masterclass with curator and writer Nato Thompson, created for artists who want to think seriously about their work and its place in the world. Meeting every two weeks, the group becomes a space to reflect, exchange, and push artistic practice forward through conversation about what it means to make art amid the realities of contemporary life: money, time, care, exhaustion, and belief. This is a space for both reflection and growth. It looks at artistic development not as career management but as the long work of building clarity, conviction, and imagination inside your practice. The cohort meets bi-weekly over the course of 5- months.
