ACC Voices: Art, Technology, and Us

Join us on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, from 6:30-8:00 PM ET for a conversation on the impact of art and technology on us and our world through the lens of cultural understanding. As the development of technology reshapes creative practices and cross-cultural connections, what will the future hold for artists and cultural institutions? Executive Director of the Asian Cultural Council (ACC), Judy Kim, will introduce the conversation between Artistic Director of CultureHub, Billy Clark, and artist and educator Carrie Sijia Wang.

ACC Voices: Art, Technology, and Us will explore questions including: What are the roles of artists and creatives in a world of ever developing digital space? How does technology inform humanity? And how may technologies like AI transform artistic creation and different means of cultural exchange?

A reception with lite bites and refreshments will follow the discussion. While this event is free and open to the public, pre-registration is required, and space is limited. Register by November 10.

Doors will open at 6:15 PM. Please aim to arrive in advance of 6:30 PM to fully enjoy this exciting program.
