When Art Meets Tech

A night where art, tech & culture collide.

"ArtTech Playground is what happens when those worlds finally meet."

— Jerusalem Darkera, Co-Founder

ArtTech Playground is a curated platform and event series built on a simple belief: creatives and technologists are both builders — they just haven't been in the same room often enough. Founded by Nora Dockery and Jerusalem Darkera, our debut on April 17, 2026 at the AWS Builder Loft in San Francisco proved exactly that.
