a bright and airy room, within the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) in Dublin, set up for an "Age-Friendly AI Showcase" on May 10, 2025. The foreground features several light-colored tables scattered with papers, colorful stickers, pens, and a small, light wood voting box. Various chairs in pastel shades of pink, blue, and light green are arranged around the tables, suggesting an interactive workshop or drop-in event. A banner in the bottom left corner proclaims "FREE DROP IN ANYTIME" in bold white letters against a blue background with a red ribbon detail. In the midground, a white sign with rounded corners clearly displays "Age-Friendly AI SHOWCASE" in a modern font, along with the event time (11:00 - 16:00) and location (Irish Museum of Modern Art, IMMA, D8). The background shows the high ceilings and muted green walls of what is a workshop space within the museum, with hanging white fabric panels and some storage or equipment visible in the periphery. The overall impression is of a welcoming and accessible event focused on artificial intelligence for older adults.

A flyer announces an "Age-Friendly AI Showcase" on May 10, 2025, at the Matheson Creativity Hub within IMMA, running from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The text "Free, Drop In anytime" encourages spontaneous attendance. The flyer then presents a schedule for the morning, laid out in a table with two columns labeled "Time" and "Activity."

The morning schedule includes the following:

11.00 - 12.45: "Try Out Interactive AI activities"
11.30 - 11.45: "TALK: Technology to support brain health as we age with Dr Dympna O'Sullivan, TU Dublin"

A flyer details the afternoon schedule for an "Age-Friendly AI Showcase" on May 10, 2025, held at the Matheson Creativity Hub within IMMA from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, emphasizing that it's "Free" and allows for "Drop In anytime."
