Here to bring your ideas into the future

Artengine is an artist-run futurelab that brings together artists, designers, technologists, and researchers to explore the social impacts of emerging technologies through collaborative learning and production.

 

For almost 30 years, we have been working in the capital region, producing innovative programming and finding unique ways to support artists and creatives of all kinds. The world is always changing and Artengine helps cultivate the new ideas and new froms of art for our new world.
