Dearest art friends,

The fall art season is in full swing, cumulating in October Frieze London, the Art Blocks Marfa weekend and Art Basel Paris, all within 10 days of each other. Don’t slow down, because November will be even busier with Paris Photo, Shanghai Art Week, Frieze Abu Dhabi and will end in an exhausted but sunny finale in Miami early December.

If you thought this was all, buckle up as many other digital art events are happening online or throughout the world, showing an enthusiastic health sign of the market and not entirely correlated to the traditional art market.

If you’re tired without even having been to an event or have no idea what we’re talking about, the link to register for our online educational program to learn about digital art 101 is already open for the January cohort starting. So get on the list because it’s already filling up.

See you around,

The 100 collectors Team
