Just south of Washington, D.C., the Art Center overlooks the Potomac River in the Old Town section of Alexandria, Va.

    Proud to have co-hosted (as Alexandria Office of the Arts) “Creativity, Empathy and AI: A National Summit of the Human-AI Creative Partnership” last week with Virginia Tech (ICAT), Carnegie Mellon University, Penn State, and a2ru. Educators from Universities, industry leaders, and artists, all from across the country and Canada joined us in Alexandria (Torpedo Factory Art Center) and DC (National Academy of Sciences). We were happy to have also been joined by representatives from the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for Humanities, National Science Foundation, Wilson Center, Washington Post, and the Deputy Director of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.  #artsALX #icat #VTALX @alexartsoffice @vt_icat @torpedofactory @thenasciences
