Artificial intelligence is changing the way we think, create, and connect.
Once viewed as a tool for efficiency, AI has quickly become a creative collaborator — reshaping how stories are told, art is made, and ideas come to life. But as the line between human and machine creativity continues to blur, one question remains: how do we embrace technology without losing what makes us original?
That’s the question at the heart of The Art of Intelligence, happening Monday, October 27, 2025, at the Rotary Centre for the Arts.
This inspiring evening explores how AI is influencing creativity, culture, and community, bringing together a powerhouse lineup of thinkers and makers who are leading the conversation on what it means to create in the age of intelligence.
As the world wrestles with what AI means for art and authenticity, Valerie McTavish brings a refreshing and grounded perspective.
In her keynote, Creating with Intelligence: How to Stay Creative and Original in the Age of AI, McTavish dives into how we can use technology to amplify human imagination rather than replace it.
With more than 30 years of experience in broadcasting, journalism, and content strategy, she has built a reputation for helping entrepreneurs and creatives clarify their message and find their true voice.
“AI can help us express ideas faster,” McTavish says, “but it’s our curiosity, ethics, and imagination that give those ideas meaning.”
Through real examples and a practical framework, she’ll show how human creativity and artificial intelligence can work hand-in-hand to unlock a new era of authentic innovation — one where technology enhances originality instead of erasing it.
Audiences can expect to leave feeling inspired, empowered, and better equipped to create with confidence in this fast-changing landscape.
Following the keynote, McTavish will be joined by two creative leaders who are already experimenting with the possibilities and boundaries of AI in their own work: Cale Frombach, Erikka Moojelsky and Robbie G.
Cale Frombach is an award-winning creative AI consultant who develops media production workflows for Hollywood studios and Fortune 500 companies.
He’s published more than 250 open-source models and works with top AI firms around the world to help organizations turn emerging technology into practical results. Frombach’s insight will peel back the curtain on what’s really happening behind the AI revolution and what’s next for creative industries navigating this new frontier.
Erikka Moojelsky brings the human touch. A Kelowna-based fashion designer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, she has spent more than two decades using creativity as a tool for connection and community.
Through her sustainable label AesthetiKs Atelier, her non-profit AesthetiKs LAB, and her work as a co-founder of Kelowna Fashion Week, Moojelsky blends artistry with purpose. Her work reminds us that while technology can inspire, creativity remains rooted in empathy, imagination, and heart.
