Call for Work

AI Creation and Conundrum
NY Statewide Group Exhibition | February 12 – March 22, 2026

Submission Deadline: November 15, 2025

Artists, illustrators, designers, and creators — you are invited to submit work to “AI Creation and Conundrum,” a NY state-wide exhibition surveying the use of artificial intelligence in the creation of art and professional creative work. This juried show will take place February 12 – March 22, 2026, at SUNY Brockport’s Tower Fine Arts Gallery showcasing original works that use AI as medium, method, collaborator, or antagonist.

Whether you have used AI and machine learning to generate form or ideas, to collaborate, or reimagine creative output, or if you create work that is critical of AI practices or its potential for societal influence, we want to see how artificial intelligence is being used and addressed by creators.

We welcome submissions that:

Use AI as a creative tool
Engage AI as a conceptual framework
Involve human-AI collaboration
Critique or reflect on AI as a tool or social impacts

Eligible media include:

Visual art (any – drawing, painting, print, photo, sculpture, ceramic, mixed, etc.)
Illustration (print or digitally presented)
Graphic Design (print or digitally presented)
Installations
Interactive works
