Our Stance on AI & Art
Utah Arts Alliance is committed to celebrating and amplifying human creativity. We recognize that AI is an evolving tool that can support learning, experimentation, and efficiency. However, we believe that:Â
- Art is a reflection of human experience, culture, and lived expression
- Communities are strongest when artists are valued, supported, and compensated.
AI Artist Guidelines
Artists may use non-generative tools such as:Â
- Editing support tools (digital brushes, color correction)
- Assistive technologies that do not generate original artwork.
We do not allow
- Artwork that is wholly or partially generated by AI
- Submissions that rely on AI for core creative elements
- AI-generated visuals presented as original human-made work.
