Expressive Artscape: Playing with Artistic Intelligence (AI)
Since the 1990s, this symposium has blossomed into a beloved tradition, evolving and adapting with time to embrace diverse forms and locales. Recently, it has expanded to both virtual and in-person formats, crossing continents, and has now arrived at the enchanting doorsteps of Costa Rica.
Each Spring Symposium is graced with a meaningful theme. We’ve journeyed for example ”Refinding Lost Harmonies” in Tenerife to “Restory-ing” in our last virtual gathering in 2024. Every symposium resonates with profound significance, creating spaces for healing, learning, and sharing stories among professionals. For more information on past spring symposiums, visit https://ahs.egs.edu/professional-development/european-expressive-arts-spring-symposium/.
We warmly invite the global community of teachers, psychologists, and changemakers passionate about using the arts for transformative purposes to join us for our thrilling new theme: “Expressive Artscape: Playing with Artistic Intelligence (AI).” Come to Costa Rica for an enriching experience at the Expressive Arts Spring Symposium 2025.
