In its 46-year history, the SIGGRAPH conference has consistently offered a space to inspire the next generation of creators, inclusive of gender, race, ability, and beyond. The Art Gallery is a big part of that, and exists as a space where artists bring their vision to life through advanced technology. After being exclusively curated for the last five years, the program returned to its jury roots for SIGGRAPH 2019. A theme of "Proliferating Possibilities: Speculative Futures in Art and Design" permeates through each chosen work as submitting artists were asked to contemplate, "What solutions might we need to thrive in a future full of promise and unknowns?" "The SIGGRAPH Art Gallery has always existed as a space that showcases compelling artistic vision alongside technological innovation," said SIGGRAPH 2019 Art Gallery Chair Brittany Ransom. "I am thrilled to bring an experience to downtown Los Angeles that both industry professionals and locals can enjoy - even if for just one week. I am also especially proud to have artist representation from Japan, Hong Kong, outh Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States." Highlights from the 2019 Art Gallery include:
