Art Worlds

"Art Worlds" refers to the social and collaborative networks that produce, promote, and sustain art. It includes artists, curators, galleries, critics, collectors, and institutions that work together to create and define art's meaning and value. These networks shape trends, influence what is considered significant, and help coordinate the complex processes involved in making and sharing art. Understanding art worlds highlights that art isn’t created in isolation but emerges from a community of interconnected individuals and organizations working within shared norms and practices.
