A practical introduction to AI for artists and creatives in Angus, Dundee, Fife, and Perth & Kinross on a fully-funded, one day course on Fri 29 August 2025, 10am-4pm.
AI is already having an impact on the creative industries. We think every creative professional should have the opportunity to learn and explore AI tools in a creative and safe environment.
This course is aimed at AI beginners – you don’t need to be a technical expert to take part. They’ve written the course to be jargon-free and easy to understand.
What you’ll cover:
– Discover how Artificial Intelligence apps work.
– Learn about the most popular and powerful Generative AI tools used by creative professionals: including DALL·E, Midjourney, Copilot, and Gemini.
– Get advice about protecting your work, and understanding what artists can do to avoid being exploited or replaced by this technology.
– Discuss ethical issues surrounding AI art, like intellectual property, safety and the environment.
They can offer fully-funded places for eligible learners on this course. Eligible learners must be creative professionals working or living in Angus, Dundee, Fife, or Perth & Kinross. This is thanks to funding from Data Skills for Work at The Data Lab through DigiTay the Tay Cities Region Deal Digital Skills Project, funded by the Scottish Government.
This course is for people working in the culture sector as creative professionals. This includes visual artists, illustrators, designers, makers and crafters, photographers, filmmakers, performers, writers, and digital creatives such as animators or game designers.
The course is also for educators and facilitators delivering creative workshops or learning programmes. Curators and producers involved in creative projects or exhibitions would also benefit.
You’ll find it useful if your role involves a significant amount of creative work, even if you’d not call yourself an artist. For example marketing professionals, social media managers and digital content creators.
