If you’re an enthusiast of AI art, a practitioner of digital creation, or an explorer curious about how technology and art collide, then the San Francisco Bay Area AI Artists Meetup on Wednesday, October 9, is an event you can’t miss. This in-person gathering, bringing together developers, artists, and tech enthusiasts, will center on "showcasing, discussing, and creating"—guiding you through an immersive journey into the allure of AI art while deepening your understanding of its underlying creative logic and future potential.

Mini Workshop: Build Your Own “AI Studio” with FLUX + Comfy UI

If appreciating artworks is about “inputting inspiration,” then creating your own is about “outputting magic.” The mini tutorial at this event will focus on FLUX, one of today’s most talked-about generative models, and Comfy UI, an open-source tool—whether you’re a newcomer to AI art or a seasoned creator, you’ll find key techniques to elevate your skills here.

• ​Introduction to FLUX Models: As a representative of next-generation generative models, FLUX is renowned for its precise semantic understanding and delicate visual details. The instructor will break down its core strengths (e.g., multi-modal input support, dynamic style control) and demonstrate how to generate “cinematic storyboards” or “game-level scenes” using simple prompts.
• ​Comfy UI Practical Demo: This visual workflow tool, hailed as the “Swiss Army knife of AI creation” for its high customizability, will be your guide to building complex workflows—from “basic image generation” to “multi-model fusion.” Learn how to use ControlNet to lock in composition, VAEs to optimize colors, or even combine text, audio, and image generation to craft “five-sense interactive” immersive works.

From “observing AI art” to “creating AI art,” this meetup transcends mere technical demonstration—it is a deep dialogue about “human-AI collaboration” and a re-examination of “the essence of creativity.” Whether you aim to master new tools or seek like-minded peers, on October 9 in the San Francisco Bay Area, we’ve prepared canvases, code, and stories. Join us as we paint a broader artistic future with AI.
