How this work shows up in community.
Futurenomic is a California Arts Council partner on Explore AI, a program that puts modern creative-tech tools — generative AI, audio production, video, and digital design — into the hands of artists, culture bearers, and youth creators. The goal is simple: communities shouldn't have to choose between protecting their heritage and participating in the next era of creative work.
Our artistic literacy programming pairs studio access and creative residencies with hands-on AI training, so working artists can integrate new tools into their practice on their own terms — and so young creators step into the field already fluent in both tradition and emerging technology.
