THE GRAIN Foundation

The Grain Foundation is a registered nonprofit dedicated to helping artists, educators, and communities navigate the future of creativity in the age of AI.

Our mission is to create accessible public education, thoughtful dialogue, and creative empowerment at a moment when technology is reshaping how we work, learn, and express ourselves.

Through events, workshops, interviews, education, community outreach, and THE GRAIN podcast and newsletter, we bring people together to explore both the pleasure and the peril of AI, and to ensure creatives have agency in the emerging future.

Our Mission

The Grain Foundation exists to:

Explore how AI is reshaping creativity through a human lens

We believe that understanding AI means better understanding ourselves.
Through media, art, and conversation, we investigate what it means to create in the age of machines.

Support creatives adapting to AI-driven tools and systems

From workshops and artist talks to school programming, we offer accessible resources that help individuals and institutions navigate change without losing their voice.

Foster public dialogue about AI’s role in society

We aim to democratize the conversation around AI—ensuring that artists, educators, and underrepresented voices have a seat at the table as this technology unfolds.
