Inside the Stellar Club: What’s happening, what’s new and what's next
How is it already the end of November? Another Christmas around the corner, another year wrapped up. A year ago I was trying to figure out how to gain a single subscriber, because honestly, no one was reading the fluff I was publishing back then (not that it was amazing—this whole thing really does take commitment!).
Today, we’re almost at 1k subscribers. Wild. I don’t plan to reflect too deeply right now, but I do want to express my gratitude to every one of you. It truly means a lot that you’re interested in what I have to say or share about the art world.
The Stellar Club has become a kind of notebook for my art thoughts and discoveries. Sometimes it’s an article that inspires me, sometimes an experience or a random spark—and I just have to write. And it’s still crazy to me that some of you choose to support my work financially. That support genuinely motivates me to make each article better than the last.
Today, I want to reintroduce what the Stellar Club is about—the different sections, the different series I focus on, and where things are heading.
Alongside the occasional public article on exceptional artists, I love highlighting underrated talents or introducing new ones (a good example is the popular “Underrated art markets: Polish artists to watch”). You can also expect market news, thoughts on current themes, and more specialised deep dives.
At the moment, we have the Home section, which is where all my musings about art and the art world live. Then there’s Art & More: Travel Guide, which I want to develop even further. I love travelling and discovering not just museums and galleries, but the cool, unexpected spots you won’t find in the usual tourist guide. These pieces come directly from my own trips—you can already read my guides to Buenos Aires ( part two here) and Menorca.
From the Home page:
Art Collecting Series
A deep dive into all things collecting—questions, tips, tricks, and practical wisdom. I’ve been collecting for a while and, combined with my experience working in the industry, I hope I can offer helpful guidance. Here are some of my favourite examples:
How to find the next big artists before price explodes
How and where to buy art online
Insights About the Art World
Thoughts on the market, news, trends, current happenings, and the little (or big) issues I feel compelled to talk about. Some popular topics below:
The great gallery reckoning: why the old art world model is collapsing
Art news: galleries not paying artists, new art foundation opening & more
Is Instagram still the best tool for artists?
Working in the Art World
I’ve done a bit of everything: galleries, auction houses, and now running my own business. I wrote the popular “10 Lessons I Learned About Working in the Art World for Eight Years,” or “How to get art smart” but trust me—I still have plenty more to share.
Art Events
And, of course, I love talking about major art events—fairs, exhibitions, anything I’ve actually visited in person. I feel like this is getting very link heavy so I will just link the most recent one -Frieze London .
For paid subscribers, my chat is always open. Ask me anything about working in the art world, running an art business, collecting, navigating the market—really, anything at all.
So yes, that’s what’s happening here in the Stellar Club. Thanks for sticking around ! I’m off to hunt for the next underrated artist, hidden gem, or desperately-needed coffee. Stay tuned.
