Introduction

Creative domains constitute a big part of modern society, having a strong influence on the economy and social life. Computer vision technologies are rapidly being integrated into these domains to, for example, aid in artistic content retrieval and curation, generate synthetic media, or enable new forms of artistic methods and creations. However, creative AI technologies bring with them a host of ethical concerns, ranging from representational harms associated with data augmentation, generation, and  analysis of culturally sensitive content to copyright and ownership concerns. While artists and illustrators communities are affected by these technologies, their voices are often underrepresented in discussions. Conceptual artists have only been recently part of these conversations through events like CVPR Art Galleries in 2023 and 2024, and a range of workshops on creativity. However, these communities are not speaking on behalf of artists at large who primarily work in commercial and small-market settings as opposed to galleries or academic spaces. 

Our aim is to create a platform for interdisciplinary discussions among computer vision researchers, sociotechnical researchers, policy makers, social scientists, artists, illustrators and other cultural stakeholders. 

Our workshop will encourage retrospective discussions, position papers examining the social impacts of research in creative applications of computer vision, ethical considerations in this domain including but not limited to artwork attributions, cultural appropriation, environmental impacts of generative arts, biases embedded in generative arts, dynamics of art marketplaces/platforms, and policy perspectives on creative AI. Finally, this year, we are inviting the community to submit their retrospective papers on Art Galleries and Exhibitions in academic conferences to generate conversations on improving the community culture.
