##### Cohart Community

## Cohart takes on NYC!

#### Cohart × PAPER

Over Halloween weekend, we co-hosted [PAPER Magazine’s relaunch at The Wiggle Room in NYC](https://www.papermag.com/paper-cohart-halloween#rebelltitem98)! The New York downtown it-girl Linux played host, and we had performances from Ms. Boogie, Crush Sahara, and DJ Miss Parker who kept it going until late into the night.

In the coming weeks, we’re so excited to incorporate cultural icons from the PAPER world, like Linux, into the Cohart community as collectors and taste-makers to share the art they love, and why they love it. 

Opinions about what makes art great shouldn’t be reserved for elite gatekeepers – everyone’s opinion about the pieces and artists they are passionate about can drive value and help create a more inclusive art world.

#### Cohart × NYC Artist Mixer

Our team hosted an artist happy hour at [Mr. Fongs](https://www.instagram.com/mrfongsnyc/?hl=en) in NYC! We synced up with many of you in person, heard your thoughts on the Cohart product, and discussed some of our exciting new features. We can't wait to host more of these in cities worldwide!

##### Why we built this

- **You make the art, we do the rest.** Plug your reliable art commerce tools, like the newest Cohart link-in-bio, into social discovery platforms (like Instagram). We'll take care of the sales process.

- **Think of it as a non-exclusive representation tool designed specifically for visual artists.** Unlike traditional models, this approach ensures you retain ownership of your style, voice, and story – with backend tools that facilitate growth.

- **Our approach is informed by our deep experience in the traditional art world and understanding of what it takes for collectors to trust artists online.** Your storefront is strategically designed to maximize conversions with your buyers and potential buyers and build the necessary trust to grow your business with new clientele.

##### Recent News

#### Here are a few of our weekend reads:

- "Otto 958" by Kiko Kostadinov in collaboration with Morán Morán gallery has become a sought-after status symbol in the art world. Dive into the allure of this favorite fashion brand in GQ's feature: ["What Is Otto 958, the Art World’s Favorite Fashion Brand?"](https://cohart.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d22ac9c1deec50e668ee824a5&id=3a3e02632e&e=4508737af4)

- The DeYoung Museum challenges the conventional role of curators with a groundbreaking exhibition featuring Bay Area artists. Emphasizing inclusivity, this showcase redefines the boundaries of traditional curation. [Read more about it in the New York Times](https://cohart.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d22ac9c1deec50e668ee824a5&id=e48be12e3a&e=4508737af4).

- [The 2023 Art Basel / UBS Art Market Report](https://cohart.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d22ac9c1deec50e668ee824a5&id=874aa2d10c&e=4508737af4) is out! One notable data point reinforces our core hypothesis on human connection – 37% of collectors say that their primary motivation when collecting art is for self-identity and personal pleasure.

- Are you surprised by the revelation that booths for independent artists can cost around $4,000? We'd love to hear what you think about Art Fairs and how we better support artists with new systems and initiatives:
