September 2026 Newsletter
by 100c Team | September 29, 2026
Dearest art friends,
Who gets to be a collector? We’ve been asking ourselves that question for a while. At fairs, openings and studio visits, we kept hearing some version of the same thing: “I love this, but I wouldn’t know where to start.”
So we built somewhere to start. 100 + 1 = 101 is a two-month guided entry into digital art: 20 people, real conversations with artists, one IRL moment connected to the fall calendar, and no previous knowledge required. Pauline tells the story behind it in this month’s article below.
And because we believe that door should open a little wider, we’re giving away one spot in the fall cohort. To enter, respond to this email and tell us why you are intrigued about digital art. We’ll announce the winner on Friday, October 2.
Not feeling lucky? Enrollment closes this Sunday, October 4. Join 101 →
See you around,
The 100 collectors Team

A new media artist duo from Japan, with solo shows in September both at NOWHERE in New York City and at NEORT++ gallery in Tokyo.
“ With this project exploring the “plots” left on the internet’s frontiers, I’m feeling both a sense of nostalgia and the ongoing sensation that the world is still connecting.”
