Arts & Design
At SIGGRAPH, artists and designers fuel their creativity by connecting with creative problem solvers from around the world—and discover innovations to help realize their vision.
Why SIGGRAPH?
Enjoy the freedom of creative exploration and check out what others are bringing to the table. The Art Gallery showcases amazing fusions of art and technology, and the Art Papers program explores possibilities through research. And when you’re ready to take action, the Studio is there so you can try the latest cutting-edge maker technology.
Learn
Through Talks, Panels, Courses, and Birds of a Feather programs, you’ll discover new tools and techniques to rev up your creativity. The industry-leading content accepted in the Art Papers program at SIGGRAPH is published in Leonardo, MIT Press’ The Journal of the International Society of the Arts, Sciences and Technology.
Get Inspired
See for yourself what others are already putting into practice. SIGGRAPH 2019 programs like the Art Gallery, Art Papers, and the Studio explore the many possibilities at the intersection of art and technology. Also, why not check out programs such as VR Theater or the Talks to see how they might inform your work and generate new, exciting ideas?
See What’s Out There
Test. Play. Explore. Talk with exhibitors to understand their products, and try them out yourself to get a feel for how they can apply to your work.
Connect
