Unlike virtually all other non-European ethnicities, SWANA - or Middle Eastern/North African (MENA), as used in the show - is grouped under "White" on the US census. It's not just the census, though. It's medical forms, college applications, just about anything with a check box for ethnicity. Efforts have been made to change this, with some success. More institutions are adding a separate category on forms - and one might appear on the 2030 census.

The office ruled that without "human authorship," the artwork was not eligible for copyright protection. This ruling was upheld in 2023 by the U.S. District Court and again last year by the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington. As lawmakers reaffirm that copyright can only be granted to work made by humans, leaving A.I.-generated outputs without protection.

Restoration is not only about building. Wright's philosophy is that everything about this place is part of the design, but sometimes objects are not the emphasis of the restoration story. We are recreating the whole vision that Wright had, not only by putting all the pieces of the puzzle of the building together, but reintegrating those objects into the story.

You'll get a pre-made faux leather cover to decorate and personalise with a range of buttons, charms, stamps and fabric pieces. You'll learn to experiment with collage and layering techniques and combine different types of embellishments to add texture, colour and personality to your journal.

The best way to find out about an artist is to get hands-on and create as they did. In this colourful and lively exploration of Constable's interests and art, Flanagan offers a book that both children and adults can enjoy. Make a DIY cloud viewer to contemplate the skies, perhaps even inspiring you to paint.

For many of these sophomore efforts, however, the results felt tentative or overworked, with critics questioning direction and coherence. Bottega Veneta was the clear exception. Louise Trotter's collection stood out for its chic restraint and disciplined focus-understated rather than attention-seeking-grounding itself in craft, proportion, and material integrity instead of spectacle.

With 70-plus shows, it's all you need to know about the major art happenings of the season. There's something in it for everyone, from the ancient to the futuristic. Above all, this is a love letter to our city, where art never sleeps.

The reason why useful art will change the world is that art, as we have come to know it since the 18th century, is the subject of 'neoliberal occupation', government regulation and commercial sponsorship. It has become useless, but not because the aesthetic exists in a Kantian separate world, but because, like everything else, including ourselves, it has become part of the neoliberal circulation of commodities, instrumentalised by the creative industries.

The Center for Craft is now accepting applications for the 2026 Craft Archive Fellowship, offering four $5,000 awards to support research on underrepresented craft histories in the United States.

The work represents a 'real turning point' in the artist's development, said Ottilie Windsor, head of contemporary art at Sotheby's London. She noted that the painting's key characteristics, such as constructive perspective, flattened space, and a balance between observation and artifice, would reappear in Hockney's later works, such as his iconic California swimming pools and Yorkshire landscapes.

This isn't just about art. It's about preserving principles that ensure our performing arts remain an unbiased reflection of our diverse society.

I was surrounded by 200 marine biologists and students living and working together on a small island. That summer changed everything. It was there that I first learned about nudibranchs-these impossibly colorful sea slugs with shapes and patterns that looked like they came from another planet.

Paleontology is built on specimens as data points. Trey is one among many of these that help us better understand this extinct group of horned dinosaurs. The fossil spent three decades on continuous loan and public exhibition at a museum, playing a role in advancing scientific study.

Some dealers at Frieze Los Angeles said they sold more in L.A. than they did at Art Basel Miami Beach in December, suggesting that market confidence has continued to strengthen since the end of the last year. The city's art week also saw a record number of satellite events as the appetite for alternative fair models continues to grow.

Advanced imaging and material analysis have led experts to reattribute a long-overlooked biblical scene to Rembrandt van Rijn, identifying the 1633 painting as a lost masterpiece after more than six decades of doubt. Titled Vision of Zacharias in the Temple, the work was last studied in 1960, when scholars ruled out the possibility that it could be by the Dutch master.

Wilson's work reexamines how Native peoples have been photographed and represented over time. Using modern photographic techniques and digital media, he responds to Curtis's influential project The North American Indian (1907-1930), inviting viewers to reflect on questions of identity, visibility, and who has the power to shape the images we see.

What Maggie O'Farrell so brilliantly did, not just with Agnes and Shakespeare's wife, but also with Hamnet, their son, was to bring these people ... and give them status beside this great man. ... [And] give the full landscape of what it is to be a woman.

Radioposter has built what it calls Paper-fi: physical books with synchronized audio soundtracks that follow readers in real time as they turn each page. No chips embedded in the paper, no QR codes to scan. The system uses patented computer vision and other modes through a smartphone or smart glasses to track your place in the book and play the corresponding audio.

CFGNY is having a big spring. The self-proclaimed 'vaguely Asian' art and fashion collective is in a group exhibition about the production and representation of Asian fashion at Pioneer Works, transforming the third floor into a cardboard-lined shipping container filled with studio portraits shot in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a growing fashion hub.

Residencies, Workshops, & Fellowships, Center for Craft - 2026 Craft Archive Fellowship Four $5,000 awards will be offered to fellows conducting research on underrepresented craft histories.

We were supposed to be Frieze's special guests. And we feel like we're being censored, racially profiled and discriminated against. Having worked with the fair for five years, she says she will not continue beyond this weekend.

It is not about reproducing the past but about engaging in dialogue with it. We apply the same level of care and rigor to all pieces. Many of our utilitarian pieces have a strong sculptural quality, and several of the more artistic works originate from everyday forms and functions. We do not establish rigid boundaries between these categories; all are part of the same vision.

I've never cared a lick about Elvis Presley, who would have turned 91 in January, had he not died in 1977 at the age of 42. Never had an inkling to listen to his music, never seen any of his films, never been interested in researching his life or work. For this millennial, Presley was a fossilized, mummified relic from prehistory—like a woolly mammoth stuck in the La Brea Tar Pits.

And my mother was heroic and did so many things to make it feel like a normal childhood. But when your dad lives in a VA hospital, and you go visit him every Sunday and walk down the linoleum halls to a weird room that doesn't smell like home, and you see your dad sitting in there—it wasn't him.

I appreciate the migrant story and the labour connection. They matter too. Period. Martinez was awarded the Frieze Impact Prize in 2023 for his work using discarded produce boxes collected from grocery stores, often depicting himself, family or friends, drawing from his experience picking apples, asparagus and cherries in Washington State to fund his art education.

After hearing gallerists' complaints about the rising cost of fair participation, he says he began planning Enzo last summer with the goal of creating a low-cost, collegial environment. "There's no build-out, there's no division, there are no walls," he says. "It feels almost like one presentation amongst nine galleries I really love."

He said, 'These are amazing,' His wife came alongside him. Within three minutes he told me, 'I am going to take Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, and Elvis Presley.' I said, 'That's amazing. Thank you so much.' Prices for the works ranged from $50,000.

Following the tragic death of Koyo Kouoh last May, the details of her final project- In Minor Keys, the international exhibition of the 2026 Venice Biennale-were unveiled this week by the collaborative team that will carry through her vision for the show.

Composed of 13 panels and four canvases, and measuring 65 by 100 feet, the set was produced in 1939 for Bacchanale, a performance that Dalí called his "first paranoiac-critical ballet." It premiered at the Metropolitan Opera on November 9 of that year. The set is widely considered to be Dalí's largest painting, and its central motif contains an image of the Mount of Venus.
