## Resource

What’s actually happening in the art world right now? We break down the biggest stories—from major auctions and market shifts to museum controversies, artist moves, and the trends people aren’t talking about enough. No fluff, no gatekeeping—just a fast, opinionated rundown of what matters, what’s overhyped, and what it all means if you care about art (or want to understand where it’s headed next). Presented by Mortal Machine Gallery in New Orleans.
