The 2025 TechArts Festival runs from March 28 to April 18, with events showcasing the creativity of the Georgia Tech community and the intersection of art and technology. 

In collaboration with faculty and student organizations, Georgia Tech Arts curated a festival lineup that features theater and concert performances, art exhibits from campus organizations, and innovative exhibits and installations from students, faculty, and staff.  

"The goal of TechArts Festival is to allow the campus community to express themselves through their artistic craft or medium in multiple ways," Thomas Brazzle, assistant director of Georgia Tech Arts, said. "The festival is a great way for anyone building something in their garage or a makerspace to put themselves out there and present it to the community. It has a great energy around it, and you may see something you never thought you'd see." 

Brazzle credits the ambition of the campus community for the festival's exponential growth as it enters its 12th year. New events, such as the Art Crawl and the GT Arts Block Party, have encouraged campuswide engagement and brought new student organizations into the fold.  

Looking ahead, Brazzle says the Institute is poised to play a leading role in art's evolution in the digital age. This year, installations will feature immersive elements like virtual reality, motion capture, and other sensory-based experiences that explore the intersection of the arts and technology.  

"Art helps us understand our society better, and that's why art will never fade away. Artists can look at what it is about our human condition that needs to be told and expressed and do it in a multitude of ways. These creative outlets allow us to understand society better and how technology can play a role. This is something that the Georgia Tech community does a great job of, as well as finding new ways to engage, communicate, and work together."

Brazzle sees a "thirst for expression" among the campus community, and Georgia Tech Arts sees an opportunity to expand its role in empowering students to explore STEAM education.  

"I believe the future of art is through technology, so events like this help showcase that you may come to Georgia Tech to learn something like engineering or manufacturing, but at the same time, you'll see parallels to art in what you're learning in the classroom.”  

Through the development of Tech’s planned arts district, which will be located at the former Randall Brothers site, Brazzle is confident that “Georgia Tech can be at the forefront” of the new era for the arts by supporting education, research, and entrepreneurship around cutting-edge applications of technology to artistic practice.
