A Creative Spark, Whenever You Need It
Stuck in a creative rut? Need a new challenge or a fresh angle to reignite your artistic spark? Meet the Art Idea Generator, our brand new AI-powered studio assistant built to help artists like you generate fresh, thoughtful, and sometimes delightfully weird creative prompts.
Whether you’re a painter, photographer, sculptor, textile artist, or mixed media experimenter, the Art Idea Generator is here to feed your curiosity and fuel your next project. You can ask for a random idea, or select a medium, mood, or theme to guide your prompt.
💡 “Paint a memory you’re not sure is yours.”
🧵 “Use only materials you found outside today to make something about tomorrow.”
📸 “Take five portraits where the face is only visible through a reflection.”
Each suggestion is short, open-ended, and meant to kickstart your imagination—leaving space for your own interpretation and creative voice.
Try out our Art Idea Generator
Hi there! I am your Art Idea Generator. Want a creative spark? I can suggest art prompts, themes, and project ideas. Would you like a random idea, or should we start with a medium or mood?
We’d like to know what you think!
We wanted this simple AI tool to work for emerging artists, students, and established creators alike. We hope it saves time, cuts the stress, and helps you show your work clearly and confidently. It was a simple experiment as part of our digital arts and literacy programming for 2025. If you have any comments or feedback, we’d love to hear it! Please contact us and let us know!
Special Thanks
This project was made possible through early support from the OpenAI Researcher Access Program and the Creative Entrepreneurship program at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Tony Eetak, Eva Suluk, Krish Agrawal, Jamie Bell, and Dr. Olaf Kuhlke—each of whom played a key role in shaping, inspiring, and encouraging this work. Your insights, creativity, and commitment continue to guide this journey.
