Where Innovation Meets Creativity

Welcome to Tech Arts, a dynamic department of Hairpin Arts Center dedicated to exploring the intersection of art and technology. The Tech Arts Branch merges traditional artistry with modern innovation. We embrace new media, digital platforms, and cutting-edge tools to expand the possibilities of creative expression.

Tech Arts focuses on art forms that rely on or are enhanced by technology—such as VR experiences, interactive media, generative art, creative coding, and beyond. By integrating digital and analog techniques, Tech Arts invites us to imagine the future of creativity and how technology can enrich artistic collaboration.

Join Our Committees !

Each branch has a dedicated committee that meets monthly to plan events, brainstorm new projects, and set goals for furthering the arts in our community. By joining a committee, you’ll gain direct influence over the direction of our programming and help shape local cultural engagement. You’ll also collaborate with fellow artists, develop event ideas, and support emerging and established creatives alike.

There is a monthly financial commitment of $5.00 to cover administrative costs, and materials and a significant portion is earmarked to support the Branch Directors stipend.

If you cannot afford the monthly $5.00 donation you can enroll in our volunteer work exchange. We are dedicated to providing access to all.
