The Institute held a soft launch on October 23, 2025 at Manny’s in San Francisco featuring a panel discussion on empowering human creativity that included virtuoso pianist Holly Bowling, creative producer Andy Horwitz, innovative composer Reed Mathis, and the Institute’s founder, David Weitzner.
Attendees left feeling energized, armed with new tools, and more hopeful about the ability to thrive as creative humans in the age of AI. Questions tackled that evening included how to create, in real time, amidst the chaos of uncertainty, what might bolster our confidence to take creative risks, and why it is so important to still gather in physical artful spaces, embodied human to embodied human.
We will be convening soon in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Los Angeles, and New York City… stay tuned.
