In a powerful effort to bridge art, technology, and community, TĀKOUT partnered with NYC multimedia artist and designer Mike IRAK to host an educational workshop aimed at inspiring the next generation of Bronx creatives. The event brought together youth from underrepresented neighborhoods to explore cutting-edge technologies including Web3, Virtual Reality, and Artificial Intelligence tools like ChatGPT-4, Midjourney, and DALL·E 3.

Held at the TĀKOUT Bronx location, the workshop offered hands-on learning experiences, meaningful discussions, and direct mentorship from Mike IRAK, whose work has been showcased in Superchief Gallery NFT, Times Square billboards, and Nox Gallery in Tokyo. Participants also received exclusive goods from event sponsors, making the experience even more memorable.

The event was a major success, not only for its turnout but for the impact it had on local youth — sparking curiosity, encouraging creativity, and opening new paths toward artistic and technological exploration. TĀKOUT continues to stand at the intersection of culture, education, and empowerment, proudly supporting initiatives that give back to the community.
