Art for A New Dawn, A New Day

Launching this fall, NADA Collects is an educational initiative for new collectors in partnership with the New Art Dealers Alliance

Aug 13, 2025

Good morning everyone! I am over the moon excited to share in my newsletter the latest platform I have built in partnership with the New Art Dealers Alliance: NADA Collects.

After years of thoughtful conversations about how to best support and guide the next generation of collectors, this program brings that vision to life. NADA Collects offers an accessible entry point into contemporary art, designed for those ready to begin collecting and seeking trusted guidance.

Through NADA Collects, I will continue the programming that has defined Anne Parke Art Advisory: gallery walks, salons, collector dinners, and art fair previews, now expanded to a broader community of emerging collectors.

If someone you know has ever asked where to begin with collecting, or if you’re looking to join a thoughtful community of curious collectors, feel free to share this and help spread the word about NADA Collects! Everyone can register their interest here to receive updates on pricing and programming.

Just as exciting to share in this edition are works by extraordinary artists featured below. Among them is Sylvie Hayes-Wallace, who was recently awarded The Armory Show’s Gramercy International Prize. This issue includes a special preview one of Sylvie’s new works, ahead of her solo presentation with Silke Lindner at the fair this September 5 through 7. For those of you reading closely, you may remember I featured Sylvie last fall before her solo exhibition, and again two editions ago.

I also loved discovering and reading about more artists featured below, such as Alyssa McClenaghan, Caroline Monnet, and Elle Pérez among others, and I hope you will too. Stay cool out there and I’ll see you in the next edition for a fall preview of selections from The Armory Show and September exhibitions opening soon.
