Art For Words of Affirmation
Featuring artists from past newsletters recognized in ArtCube’s 2026 Discoveries Report
Good morning! Before we begin, a reminder that starting Jan 1, 2026, new subscriptions to this newsletter will increase from $5/month to $8/month and from $50/year to $80/year. If you are already subscribed, you will automatically keep your $5 or $50 rate.
This week carries real momentum because ArtCube released its 2026 Discoveries Report, and nine artists I have previously championed in this newsletter were recognized! ArtCube also invited me to contribute and I was quoted discussing the work of Eloise Hess. Here is the excerpt:
Below are the nine artists I have spotlighted in past issues who were recognized this week in ArtCube’s 2026 Discoveries Report:
Osama Al Rayyan featured before his successful show this spring in New York
Bai Yiyi featured after his Frieze Magazine appearance last year
Piper Bangs and Sarah Martin-Nuss both featured in my fall preview highlights
Audrey Gair featured before her work appeared on the cover of New York Times Arts
Nina Hartmann featured often since 2022
Sonia Jia featured as part of my personal shortlist
Anastasia Komar featured during her Silver Art Project residency, which was profiled in Vogue Scandinavia
KV Duong featured during his group show at Hauser and Wirth
It is gratifying to see these nine artists recognized and supported by ArtCube’s 2026 Discoveries report. Today’s newsletter brings together new works by these previously featured artists alongside works by other artists from this year’s report, including Eloise Hess, Amy Bravo, Tommy Xie, and Gianna Dispenza. As always, please reach out if you would like to see more examples of each artist!
