Technology is transforming every aspect of our lives, from the way we communicate to how we create and experience art. Advances in AI, digital, and interactive systems are constantly pushing creative boundaries.

**Beyond Interface and Prompt** is a forthcoming juried multimedia art exhibition that explores how technology transcends its role as a mere tool to become a dynamic medium in contemporary art. We invite artists across all disciplines to consider how digital interfaces, AI, interactive systems, and etc. can reshape creative expression and audience perception. The exhibition aims to showcase works that move beyond traditional boundaries — **beyond the screen interface and beyond the simple text prompt** — to create innovative and experimental experiences. In this show, technology is not just about using new tools, but about **rethinking the very fabric of artmaking.**

While we welcome submissions in **all mediums**, works that **integrate technology** in concept or execution will be given **priority in the jury’s selection and up to $1,500 in creative awards**.

We encourage entries that engage with mediums such as tech-driven installation, interactivity, mixed-reality, AI generative art, 3D printing, audio-visual environments, or any form of artistic experimentation where technology plays a central role.

The exhibition takes place at the non-profit organization – Williamsburg Art & Historical Center, aka WAH Center, a 19th-century landmark that has witnessed the evolution of art and technology across generations. By embracing new media and forward-thinking approaches, the WAH Center merges its historic legacy with art’s innovative future.

Selected artists for the exhibition are eligible for multiple awards celebrating creativity, experimentation, and excellence. Works that innovatively use technology will receive special consideration for awards. The jury seeks outstanding, tech-driven pieces that push boundaries.

All awards will be decided by the jury panel. Winners will be announced at the exhibition opening reception, and all participating artists will benefit from exposure through the exhibition’s publicity and catalog.

Awards include:

* **Excellence in Merging Art & Tech**: Awarded to the submission that best exemplifies innovative use of technology as a medium. The winner will receive a cash prize of **$500** and a feature in the exhibition catalog highlighting their work’s conceptual and technical contributions.
* **Creative Innovation:** Awarded to a work that shows outstanding creativity and risk-taking: Cash prize: **$500**
* **Emerging Talent:** Awarded to an emerging artist (within the first five years of their practice) who demonstrates exceptional promise in integrating technology with art. Cash prize: **$500**
