Accessible Resources for The Culturally Curious
Hello Next Up Collector Community!
We are back with some resources to inspire the next generation of art enthusiasts and collectors alike. If you feel overwhelmed, which is an understandable feeling in the ever-so-vague art world, then we hope this guide will help inspire you. As we begin 2025, we look forward to inviting you to our upcoming events, which will include educational talks with specialists, studio tours with emerging artists, partnerships with young collectors and curators, gallery tours, and more! Our goal always remains the same — to make art collecting more accessible and engaging for the next generation of young professionals.
On our list of resources for the culturally curious —
ArtTactic Editorial
ArtTactic Editorial is one of the best resources for a young art collector or enthusiast. ArtTactic provides easy to use resources surrounding art market analysis and research available to browse online. The research that ArtTactic publishes is great for informing and educating oneself on the trends of the market, which can be crucial in making a decision about when or what to purchase.
Seb’s Art List
If you are UK based, Seb’s Art List offers the most accessible location for discovering the openings and happenings within the London art scene. Free to sign up for the newsletter, his list will make sure your inbox includes the plan for the month, what shows to hit, who is showing there, the dates and times they are open, and so much more. Don’t forget — anyone can attend a private view, just ensure you read if you need to RSVP or not before attending.
The Courtauld Research Forum
The Courtauld’s Research Forum offers an opportunity for education unlike any other that I have personally been able to find. Most times free and open to the public, the discussions that The Courtauld facilitates will help provide you with an academic grounding for your favorite artists, artworks, or styles. This forum is a great place for any new collector or enthusiast to start.
Galleries Now
GalleriesNow provides an easy to use list of galleries globally, as well as their current shows, their dates, and information about their private views. Remember, anyone can attend a private view, just make sure to RSVP, if that is listed as essential!
Art Publications
We are strong believers that readings is a great way to learn. By staying on top of the art world news, you will learn so much about how the industry operates alone. ARTnews, Artnet, Artforum, and Artsy are all great resources for editorial content about artists to collect, shows that are taking place, and important moments in the industry,
