On September 27th, 2025, we are bringing together artists, technologists, designers, educators and community organizers for a one-day gathering at the 9th Avenue Gallery in Seattle, WA. Organized by Third Place Technologies and Future Arts with the support of Cornish College of the Arts and Artist Trust, the event is a designed to energize the arts and tech community in the Pacific Northwest.

This is a chance for us to collectively share ideas, see what others are up to, and start building stronger connections across our diverse creative landscape. Whether you are creating with code, crafting interactive installations, experimenting with generative or XR media, curating experiences, organizing community, or building new tools, we hope you will be part of it.

The day will be split into two parts. During the daytime symposium, we will host a mix of a panel discussion, short presentations, and a town hall style conversation focused on where our community is now and what we want to build together moving forward.

In the evening, the space will transform into a pop-up exhibition and social soirée, featuring artists working with emerging technologies. Expect a lively, informal atmosphere with demos, installations, and opportunities to meet others working at the intersections of creative practice and innovation.

We are actively accepting applications for both the evening pop-up exhibit and presenters for the afternoon rapid talks here. We look forward to seeing what you’ll contribute!
