The last week has taught me more about this space than the last few years have.
I saw a community come together to speak for freedom, for peace, for the children of Gaza.
Artworks were created with care, thought, pain, and humanity. Countless people showed up, artists supporting artists, collectors supporting artists. Most bought more than one piece and proudly shared their acquisitions, timelines glowing in red, black, white, and green.
You know who I didn’t see? The self-proclaimed patrons of the arts and thought leaders. They were silent. No collecting, no support of any kind.
The strength of this space comes from those who live and breathe its values. Not the hype, not the bags, not the cabal. It comes from the artists who pour their souls into their work, who support one another, and from those who share and amplify their voices.
In a few days I learned that what really matters is not who shouts the loudest, or who claims to be an expert, but those who show up when it matters most.
Thank you to @ArtForHumanityx and those behind this initiative for organizing such an amazing fundraiser, and for everyone who showed up in support.
