Class Description Artificial intelligence programs have been described in many ways, but perhaps the best way to understand how we can benefit as writers from the use of Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and others is to think of them as our sidekicks. Eager and helpful assistants that can do things faster and better than us as long as we give them the right instructions. This course is about which AI programs are the best for which tasks, what is possible with AI, and how to use it without crossing any ethical lines. You’ll learn how to benefit from AI when it comes to research and writing and how to design and produce amazing covers, websites, and marketing materials. AI can do things for a fraction of the cost and in the blink of an eye, including creating audio books, apps, and other complimentary (and lucrative) ancillary items. As promising as this sounds, we’ll also look at the ways in which we can lose authenticity and credibility if we take it too far. This is a hands-on, interactive, and solution-oriented program presented as a discussion and brainstorming session so we learn how to make the most of these powerful new tools to take our ideas, bring them to life, and get them out to the masses. Come with your questions and suggestions, and leave with a whole new way of working that opens up possibilities that weren’t available just a couple of years ago.

At the Bonita Museum & Cultural Center we are celebrating a new public sculpture by South Bay artist Michael Leaf entitled "Chameleon IT." This first of its-kind, color changing metal sculpture, will be located on the museum building. The unveiling and lighting of the new sculpture will take place on Saturday, May 16 from 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. during The Big Reveal, the museum’s signature event of the year. The origins of "Chameleon IT": Whenever I drive or ride my bicycle past the museum, I have always wondered… How can the outside of the museum, reflect what is going on inside the museum? What could be done that is powerful and meaningful enough to represent the vibrancy of the art, history, culture performances and exhibitions inside the building? And then “IT” hit me. - Michael Leaf, artist During the The Big Reveal we are also celebrating the 20th anniversary of the building and housing of the museum and the Bonita Historical Center with the County of San Diego. During The Big Reveal we will be honoring Barbara and Robert “Scott” Scott, who have been instrumental in the museum’s development throughout the years. Both Barbara and Scott have been active in raising funds for the museum and sculpture garden, as well as exhibition and programming support. Barbara is an emeritus board member, serving on the board of trustees. The Scott’s have been hands-on in creating the first public sculpture, WR This Cats Smart by Mehl Lawson, located near the museum at the entrance to the Greg Cox Civic Complex in Bonita. Barb and Scott will be the honorary chairs for the event. From May 1 – May 29, 2026, a solo exhibition of Michael Leaf’s 2D and 3D metal artwork will be featured in the main gallery. Michael’s family talents and lineage includes Rohr Industries which was located in South Bay San Diego. Michael Leaf on Instagram
