During Spring 2021, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Clinic for Open-Source Arts, the STUDIO hosted a group of creative technologists who are developing Open-Source Software Toolkits for the Arts (#OSSTA). From April 26th through 29th, 2021, our guests delivered a series of free evening presentations about the free tools they’ve been working to realize—and the creative practices that have motivated them to create these new tools.
