Meet the Voices Behind Our Next Community Spark Exchange!
Join us for our Community Spark Exchange on October 22 for Art & AI: Creativity, Technology and Choice, as we bring together creative voices to explore the questions, possibilities, and challenges shaping the future of art.
We’re excited to introduce two of the creative voices who will be part of this conversation:

Brian Finn is an artist and educator whose work explores the intersections of memory, time, and paradox through digital and mixed-media processes. Alongside his studio practice, he is a Professor at Central Connecticut State University, where his teaching encompasses digital processes, painting, and art education. He currently serves as Chairperson of the Department of Art and Design at CCSU.

Sean Roberts is the owner and lead developer of SKM.digital, an independent web and AI technology studio based in Woodbury, CT. With more than 20 years of experience in web development and consulting, he works directly with marketing agencies, small businesses, and nonprofits to build custom websites, apps, and AI workflows that support their goals.

Through different experiences and perspectives, our speakers will help spark a thoughtful discussion about the possibilities, questions, and challenges AI brings to the creative community.
