As AI art continues to morph into outré forms as it explodes across the creative landscape, a central gathering spot for artists has emerged from the tumult. AI Art Magazine recently launched 'What's On?' a section showcasing global AI art exhibitions, events and festivals.
'With this initiative, we aim to provide a central platform where artists, curators, institutions and audiences can discover what's happening in the field,' says the magazine's c0-founder, Mike Brauner, who heads the Hamburg-based creative agency, Polardots Studio. The resource hub is meant to be inclusive. 'Anyone can contribute,' adds Brauner, whose print-only publication launched in late 2024 with the help of co-founder Christoph Grünberger. 'By making this space open and accessible, we hope to foster connection, visibility and collaboration.'
The German-based AI Art Magazine launched in late 2024.
About 40 events and exhibitions are listed on the site. A few examples:
Mesh, Festival for Art and Technology. The Swiss-based event is planned for October 2026 at the Freilager-Platz public square in Münchenstein, Switzerland. Titled "urban actions | spatial utopias' the group's second event will explore the intersection between virtual and physical spaces. Smart city concepts will be unveiled—transformed by AI into 'democratic ecosystems.'
The group exhibition AImagine opened at Hangar Art Center in Brussels, Belgium on January 24 and runs until June 15, 2025. The 18 selected projects examine AI-influenced photography. 'The show investigates how AI tools can both challenge and expand the boundaries of photographic practice, blurring the lines between fiction and reality,' states the event's website. The exhibition also aims to raise questions about the authenticity and authorship of art, and how that blend will transform visual culture.

Among the works on view will be François Bellabas' Protomaton, an AI-powered photo booth that captures images while allowing spectators to interact with it. The result? Machine-generated images that reinterpret the spectators' choices. Also featured: works by Jordan Beal (Lineaments, 2024). Beal photographs computer screens while AI art is being generated. The blurry result evokes dreamy landscapes. 'His work challenges what we see and the invisible mechanisms that shape our perception, with an aesthetic that is both captivating and unsettling,' reads the Hangar Art Center website.
Berlin-based Galerie Met is collaborating with Prompt Forum, which hosts monthly AI art competitions, to mount a show from May 24 to June 7, 2025. The photography exhibition, 'Synthetic Realities: Authenticity in the Age of AI Imagery,' will be held at Galerie Met's exhibition space in Berlin. The show, as with many others, explores the topic of authenticity, and what that means 'in a world where the synthetic and the real seamlessly blend,' according to Galerie Met's website.

The 176-page AI Art Magazine accepts artwork via an open-call basis. About 50 works are selected by jurors who work in AI and related fields. They include Sara Giusto, a producer at Aww Inc. who was featured in Forbes Japan's '30 Under 30' list in 2023. Aww Inc. creates virtual human influencers (think perky avatars with pink-bobbed hair) that collaborate with such brands as IKEA, Calvin Klein and Porsche, Japan.
The magazine's juror pool includes one AI-generated judge, Xiaomi, who sports large brown eyes and a flat affect.
The German-based magazine, which sells for €22, is accepting submissions for its second issue—an open call held from June 2 to June 30, 2025.
AI Art Magazine also sponsors the 'Global Fusion Tour,' an international event series that explores the intersection between art and technology. The first event in the series was held at the Hamburg-based Design Zentrum exhibition space on February 20, 2025. A panel discussion examined how AI 'opens up new possibilities for self-exploration, questioning how digital identities are constructed and reimagined,' states the magazine's website.
'Human Cell Atlas' exhibition, organized by Ouchhh Studio's co-founders Ferdi Alici and Eylul Duranagac Alici, is exhibited at Art Dubai on February 29, 2024.
The second event, held in Vienna over three days in late April, was titled 'Empowering Creative Futures with AI in Art and Culture.' It concluded with a hands-on workshop where participants could build and then train AI art curators.
More events are planned in Tokyo and Mexico City for later in 2025.
