In the survey, 45% of artists reported that they earned less from their practice in 2025 than they did last year.

That statistic climbed to 59% for those with gallery representation and museum shows under their belt.

The vibrant medium of glass takes center stage in Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass. Featuring more than 100 glass art pieces created by 29 Native American and First Nations artists, this exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian in New York also includes works by leading glass artist Dale Chihuly, who first introduced glass art to Indian Country as an instructor at the Institute of American Indian Arts.

Often I'm thinking about the problem of articulating a surface in such a way that it forces the eye to move over the painting in a particular way. The eye can get blocked at junctions: elbows, knees, ankles, etc. So I look for paths that run across the form in order to connect them. I often deviate from anatomical accuracy in order to generate compositional tension. There are also details that command the eye with psycho(sexual) compulsion: lips, ears, nipples, fingertips, eyes etc. I will use the bulges and indentations of musculature as an inflection point to modulate the impact of those signifiers.

Rooted in the American Midwest, Heartland merges the surreal with the everyday in a new series of paintings created in the artist's family garage amid the central Iowa landscape where Schaeuble lives and works. The exhibition takes its title from the term "heartland," first coined by British geographer Sir Halford Mackinder to describe the fertile core of central Eurasia-believed, by him, to be the key to global dominance.

For most of 2025, we were either watching one of the playwright's comedies or bracing for one. In June, we had almost simultaneous productions: Taylor Mac's "Prosperous Fools" (an update of "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme") and Jeffrey Hatcher's fizzy adaptation of "Le Malade Imaginaire." And, this fall, one version of the comedy "Tartuffe" (at the House of the Redeemer) had barely closed before New York Theatre Workshop premièred its own.

The Union flag that led Nelson's fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar could be bought by a UK museum after an export bar was imposed following its sale at auction. The Union Flag flew from the Royal Sovereign, the ship that led the British charge at the Battle of Trafalgar, and still features burn marks and splinters inflicted during the battle. It was recently put up for sale and sold for £450,000.

I didn't listen to my family as a child when they told me to avoid becoming the bearer of bad news. As part of Hyperallergic's News Team, I've spent much of the last year writing about the impact of President Trump's policies on the most cherished arts and cultural organizations in the United States, including the Smithsonian Institution, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

She transformed ready-made objects, such as an umbrella, into heartrendingly human objects tinged with absurdist humor. "In addition to the acceptance of trying and falling short," Devon Van Houten Maldonado wrote in a review of her work for Hyperallergic, "Floyer's work asks: What are we trying to get right? How do we know what's right?"

"My report provides a clear path, with a range of new initiatives that cover everything from new funding models to fundamental systems reform, that will enable ACE to strengthen its key, positive role in sustaining a world-class creative sector for the future," Hodge says in a statement. In the wake of various culture wars over the past 15 years, Hodge stresses that "the government must maintain and strengthen the arm's length principle at all levels of government to ensure that arts funding is protected from politicisation".

It's a common adage that "the art world loves young men and old women." In a chat I once had with artist Carolee Schneemann (pardon the name drop) at a winter solstice party in Upstate New York, she offered the correction: "The art world loves young men and DEAD women." That was just a few months before her passing in early spring of 2019.

The Tunicate salp, commonly referred to as a salp, looks a bit like an elongated jellyfish-minus the tentacles. These barrel-shaped creatures fall into a category of marine animals called sea squirts, which are, believe it or not, actually taxonomically closer to humans than they are to jellyfish. That's because, despite their gelatinous-looking forms, they're actually invertebrates with a kind of spine, known as a notochord, that runs down their back and anchors muscles.

Vice President JD Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, and White House advisorJames Blair. The portraits included close-ups that heightened every pore and fine line (and lip injection site), and shots that rendered these political figures comically tiny, swallowed up by their backdrops.

People really show up for the arts here. Our event is run by artists in the building. It's been growing so much over the past few years. This year has been very very busy, it's crazy.

I have chosen to paint many elements incompletely, in fragmented splatters, drips, and glazes to emphasize their lack of solidity and definitiveness. From these fragments, our cultural needs and desires are often revealed: movement, disposability, convenience. While not majestic or inherently aesthetic, I try to paint these banal places with a degree of sympathy. In some sense, it is an attempt to try to love this strange world we have created. The views in these paintings were selected because they have historical roots.

Gallery 114 on NW Glisan Street is one of the oldest artist cooperatives on the west coast and is named after its original address, 114 NW 3rd Street where it resided until the early 1990s. Members pay monthly dues of $125 and gallery-sit two shifts a month for two and a half hours. In addition to group exhibitions at least once a year, each artist can have their own show every 18 months.

Long before shopping carts and overnight shipping, gifts were objects that carried time inside them, things made by hand, chosen with care, and often meant to last. Art and antiques still occupy that territory. They are not efficient gifts. They are not interchangeable. That is why they endure. To give art or an antique is to provide more than an object. It is to offer a story, an aesthetic judgment, and a piece of one's own attention.

When we were children, my father, the painter David Gentleman, never offered much advice to me or my siblings. If we wanted to draw, he would hand out pencils and let us get on with it. He was encouraging, but never gave us instructions. If we were enjoying ourselves, more paper was available; but if we wanted to go and do something else, that was fine too.

Not so much for the carnal stuff, but for the way every word he utters is taken to be as beautiful as he is. Intoxicated by their admiration, his admirers leap headfirst into the still waters of his pronouncements apparently certain of hidden depths thereunder. So it has been with the reaction to how he comforted his director when she confessed, in so many words, that she couldn't always grasp what Shakespeare was on about.

Anyone who was burnt badly by the news that tickets to see Gary Oldman in Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape' are already sold out, knows that you can never be too hasty in securing next year's theatre tickets. Although 2026 still feels like a lifetime away, star-studded productions, promising new shows and long-loved revivals are already beginning to sell fast on London's West End theatre scene.

With the flip of a switch, the enchanting scenes by Hari & Deepti awaken with a soft, yellow light. The husband-and-wife duo have been working with white paper since 2010, when they began experimenting with illumination and shadow. Today, they're known for their intricately layered narratives that translate the magical allure of fairytales and mythology into dynamic sculptures.

"The entire 'General Hospital' family is heartbroken over the news of Tony Geary's passing," Frank Valentini, executive producer of the ABC show, said in a statement Monday. "Tony was a brilliant actor and set the bar that we continue to strive for." In a career spanning more than 40 years, Geary earned eight Daytime Emmy awards as Luke Spencer after joining the soap in 1978.

"I chose abstract painting as a mode on purpose - its intention is to interrupt an image and make it harder to look at, so you have to think about your own process of looking," she says.

Hello, New York! Hope you all enjoyed those beautiful, peaceful couple hours of snow this weekend, before, well, you know the drill. (By the way, reporting businesses and landowners who haven't shoveled their sidewalks to 311 doesn't make you a narc - change my view). In art-related news, the Whitney Museum announced the 56 participants in its 2026 biennial, which includes some familiar names from New York institutions - Enzo Camacho and Ami Lien, CFGNY, and Samia Halaby among them.

Like many artists, Voynovskaya, is trying to navigate a rocky economy and policy shifts that could make health care harder to attain. Voynovskaya is insured through the Affordable Care Act marketplace, also known as Covered California. The ACA subsidizes insurance premiums through tax credits, making coverage affordable to many. But some of those tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year, raising premiums for more than 74,600 people in Alameda County.

There's a lot of examples of sex workers coming together and organizing and making their voices heard in San Francisco, which is why I'm so excited to be bringing this show there and performing it in front of people that do this work,
