AI in Creative Practices

AI is reshaping creative work, for better or worse. In this workshop, we look at how AI is actually changing the day-to-day work of designers and other creative professionals: where it helps, where it doesn’t, and why some professionals are choosing not to use it at all.

WHEN

24.9.2026

WHERE

Lahti, Sammonkatu 8

The workshop is part of the Lahti Design Festival programme and the RenAIssance project. RenAIssance is an EU-funded initiative that explores the AI-related skills needs of the creative industries across eight European countries.

We will begin the workshop by presenting the project’s findings, followed by interactive activities and a facilitated group discussion. Open to any creative professional with a view on AI, whether that’s daily use, active refusal, or something in between.

Schedule:

  • 12.30 – Open doors and coffee
  • 13.00 – Findings from RenAIssance project
  • 13.30–14.30 – Facilitated group discussions
  • 14.30 – Summary and take-aways
  • 15.00 – Final words and next steps

The findings presentation will be in English; discussions will be held in both English and Finnish.

Max 30 participants. Free to attend. Register by 17 September 2026:
