My gallery show got pulled because of a single AI debate
Last Friday, a small gallery in Portland was set to show my digital series 'Urban Echoes' for a full week. The day before opening, the owner called and said they were dropping me because my work uses some AI upscaling tools in the process. He said a board member saw a post about it online and called it 'not real art.' I spent over 200 hours painting those pieces by hand first. Now I'm stuck with prints and nowhere to show them. Has a tool you use ever gotten your work rejected like that?

Tools are just tools... your hand-painted work is still the real art.

Totally get what you're saying @granthunt. I felt the same way until I tried digital painting and realized the skill is in the vision, not the brush. The tool just changes how you get there.

Honestly felt the same until my traditional art teacher tried digital. The vision is what matters, not how you get it on the canvas.
