In a new exciting take on our Interpretations Show, artists will select a randomly generated title for their artwork from an AI (Artificial Intelligence) Artwork Title Generator. Artists will then interpret and transform that title into their own unique artwork. Personalities and the inner workings of artists' minds will be on full display on our gallery walls.

OK, Computer is a juried show open to all artists 16+ years old, all media welcome.

All 2D work must be gallery wrapped and wired across the back. No triangle hooks or saw tooth hangers will work with our hanging system. 3-D work must be gallery ready. Please write your name and title on the back of each artwork before you drop off.

  2. Browse through them all and when you find the title that speaks to you, click on it. 

  3. Select “Add to Cart”. If you would like to submit 2 artworks, you will need to repeat steps 1-2 and add another title to your cart. 

  4. Once you are ready to checkout, click on your cart.

    1. If you are working from a phone, your cart will appear as a black bar along the bottom of your screen. 

    2. If you are working from a computer, your cart will appear in the top right corner of your screen.  

  5. Once you are in your cart, click “Checkout”.

  6. If you chose only one title, continue with the checkout process and enter your method of payment. Before finalizing your purchase, ensure the title in your cart is the one you selected.
