Livermore Reads Together Art Show - The Future Is Now

In partnership with Livermore Reads Together, and inspired by The Wild Robot by Peter Brown, the theme is coexistence of nature & technology, robotics & AI, innovation & art.
a fabulous reception was held on saturday March 8, 2025.
In the gallery at the Livermore Civic Center Library
This year’s Livermore Reads Together explores the captivating world of Artificial Intelligence and Technology, inspired by the featured book The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. While the book’s narrative highlights robotics and AI, it also delves into the profound intersection of nature and technology, exploring themes of coexistence, adaptation, and how innovation shapes our world. Art and technology share a unique synergy, reflecting the connection between human creativity and technological advancement. From the way innovation sparks artistic expression to how art influences our understanding of technology, their interplay offers endless inspiration.
We invite you to celebrate this fascinating theme by showcasing your technology-inspired artwork at the Livermore Library this March. Whether you explore robotics, AI, or the coexistence of nature and technology, your creativity will add a unique voice to this exciting program.
