RELAY — Creative AI × Music × Film × Design

People make culture move. Something new is taking shape in Sacramento. RELAY is a gathering at the intersection of music, film, design, emerging technology, and creative culture — bringing together the people making things, challenging conventions, and turning ideas into experiences. Presented by Machine Digital × Creative Minds Collective for Sac Tech Week, RELAY 001 is an intimate, art-directed evening built around making, conversation, and connection. THE EXPERIENCE 01 — CREATIVE AI WORKSHOP Go inside the creative process with Nick Foster of Machine Digital and Prop the Producer of Creative Minds Collective. Together, they’ll break down how ideas move across music, image, film, and emerging AI tools — from concept and creative direction to finished work. This isn’t a software tutorial. It’s a look at how creators can use new technology as part of a larger creative practice. 02 — FIRESIDE CONVERSATION After the workshop, Nick and Prop join host Chaycin Change for a candid conversation about creativity, technology, culture, and what these rapidly changing tools mean for the people actually making the work. Additional artists, creators, and fireside guests will be announced. 03 — RELAY / CONNECT Then the room opens up. Meet filmmakers, musicians, designers, artists, creative technologists, founders, and other people shaping Sacramento’s creative community. Music. Visual work. Conversation. New introductions. Not networking for networking’s sake — the goal is to leave knowing someone you might actually make something with. WHO RELAY IS FOR Artists. Musicians. Producers. Filmmakers. Designers. Developers. Creative technologists. Founders. Students. And people who are simply curious about where creativity is going next. You don’t need to be an AI expert. You just need to be interested in making, learning, or connecting. Come for the work. Stay for the conversation. Leave with someone new to create with. RELAY is the beginning.
