The artistic community of Memphis, Tennessee is coming together to unite against venues, promoters, and event organizers using artificial intelligence (hereinafter “AI”) to promote shows and events. Please join our call to action and sign this Petition to tell individuals and venues that the artists of Memphis DESERVE and DEMAND only human-generated promotional materials for shows and events that give credit to those beautiful, artistic minds of the creators!

AI is detrimental to artists because the use of AI diminishes the importance of original creative expression. Further, generative AI uses the artwork of human artists without consent, credit, or compensation. Memphis artists are worthy of praise and recognition for their painstaking efforts that go into creating original pieces of art.

We, the undersigned artists in Memphis, call on venues, promoters, and event spaces to make a difference by refusing to use promotional artwork generated by AI or other non-human sources. It is necessary to maintain the integrity of human-driven creative expression and give the Memphis artist community the credit and compensation they deserve.

Join us in the fight against AI shortcuts for artwork and keep creative pursuits human-driven!
