POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

We spent time at Untitled Art, Houston with PaperCity, walking the fair, experiencing the work, meeting galleries, and taking in the energy surrounding art in Houston right now.

We stopped by Library Street Collective, Kavi Gupta, and RÉFUSES - just a few of the galleries bringing incredible work to Houston this week.

Untitled Art, Houston runs October 2–4 at the George R. Brown Convention Center, so if you’re in the city this weekend, go experience the fair. See the work in person. Talk to the galleries. Meet the artists. Find something you love.

And while you’re here, join us for GloryLand ’26—conversations, collecting, community, and the people shaping the art world.

The art world has a playbook. The problem? Too many people are keeping it behind closed doors.

That’s exactly what Moriah Alise is working to change with Dear Glory, her platform making the art world’s strategy, language, and relationships more accessible to artists, collectors, and cultural workers.

From building systems that can withstand sudden visibility to navigating relationships and representation, Moriah is breaking down the tools artists need to move with intention.

With GloryLand returning to Houston October 1–3, that mission is coming to life with three days of education, community, and access.

GLORYLAND IS HERE!! And this is how I’m walking in!! 🌸

After months of building, planning, asking questions, and imagining what this could become… we’re finally here.

For the next three days, Houston becomes our GloryLand, our meeting place, and our home.

Today: we begin with an intimate collector experience.
Friday: Education Day—four conversations, Glory Glory, and Glory Nights.
Saturday: Untitled Art tours + The Offering: Houston.

And none of this happens without the team, Jordan Lee @whosjordanlee - our incredible panelists, partners, artists, team, and every single person who believed in this enough to simply say yes.

There are so many yeses behind these three days, and I don’t take a single one for granted.

We’re Ready. The people are here.

Welcome to GloryLand 2026. by @moriahalisee

A room full of artists, collectors, curators, founders, and people who simply wanted to understand the art world a little better.

We asked the questions. We shared what we know. We challenged ideas. We made connections. And somewhere between the stage, the hallways, and the conversations in between, GloryLand Year 2 became exactly what we hoped it would be.

A place to learn the art world with the people living it.

Thank you to every panelist, partner, attendee, and person who helped fill this room.

This was Education Day at GloryLand ’26. Houston, Texas.

A huge thank you to our sponsors and partners: Swain’s | The Market Institution, Obsidian, UOVO, Untitled Art, PaperCity, Swenshots Studio House, and Hotel Saint Augustine.

Very special thanks to @shaymone and @thesstudiohouse for providing such cozy furniture!! by @moriahalisee

This is what GloryLand looks like beyond the stage—access, art, conversation, and experiences that bring you closer to the art world.

In Thirty seven days from now you’ll be walking into GloryLand. (Houston, Texas)

October 2nd you spend the whole day with people who built real careers in this business. They ran into every wall the art world puts up and got past them anyway.

Don’t lose ten years trying to succeed in the art world by yourself.

Understanding the art market is one thing. Doing something with it is another. GloryLand gives you both.

Panelists announced very soon.

October 1st - 3rd, Houston. Glorylandarts.com.

We’re 7 days away from GloryLand and I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to keep building something you believe should exist.

GloryLand isn’t easy to make happen. There are still things being figured out, things changing, things I wish I had more resources for—and somehow, every year, we keep going.

Because I believe these conversations matter.

I believe artists deserve to understand the world they’re trying to build careers in. I believe we need more opportunities to actually meet each other, ask difficult questions, exchange ideas, and hear directly from the people working across this industry.

And every time I walk into this room empty, I think about what it’s going to feel like when you’re all here.

That’s the part that keeps me going.

We’re almost there.

This is GloryLand. 🌸

Three days in Houston built around one question: how do you actually make it in the art world?

We’re bringing artists, collectors, curators, advisors, founders, gallerists and cultural workers together—not to give you vague advice, but to talk about how this world actually works.

Friday is Education Day: four conversations about breaking through, access, building outside the traditional system, and where the art world is headed next.

Then we end the day with Glory Glory: The Live Scenario Game and keep the night going with Glory Nights: After Hours, presented by Obsidian.

Saturday, we’re taking our All Access guests inside Untitled Art, Houston for guided tours with the Untitled team before closing GloryLand with The Offering: Houston—a selling exhibition featuring nine artists, free and open to the public.

And if you can’t make it to Houston, you can still be in the room with us. Our $35 Stream Pass includes all four conversations + Glory Glory live, with access that doesn’t expire.

This is the full GloryLand weekend. October 1–3. Houston, Texas.

We’ve spent the year building it.
Now it’s time to experience it.

🌸 Comment “GLORY” and we’ll send you the ticket link.

We’re officially a 2026 Media Partner of Untitled Art, Houston.

And because of our partnership, we have a special discount code for the Dear Glory community.

Comment UNTITLED and we’ll DM you the discount code + link to grab your fair ticket.

If you’re in Houston this week, we want to see you at Untitled Art.

Come see the work in person. Discover artists you didn’t know before you walked in. Meet galleries from Houston and beyond. Ask questions. Start conversations. Pay attention to what you’re drawn to. And if you fall in love with something, ask about collecting it.

You do not have to be a collector, curator, or art-world insider to experience an art fair.

Come curious.

That’s a huge part of what we’ve always wanted Dear Glory to be—a way to bring our community closer to the artists, galleries, people, and spaces shaping the contemporary art world.

And yes, Untitled is happening during GloryLand weekend. 🌸 We’ll spend Friday at GloryLand talking about how the art world actually works, and our All Access guests will experience Untitled together on Saturday.

But whether you’re attending GloryLand or not:

GO TO THE FAIR.

See the work. Discover somebody new. Talk to a gallery. Maybe buy your first piece.

Just get in the room.

Untitled Art, Houston · October 2–4
GloryLand · October 1–3

We’ll see you in Houston. by @moriahalisee

Welcome to GloryLand, Sean Green. 🤎

Sean is the co-founder and CEO of ARTERNAL, a technology company building tools for the art world—including its AI registrar, Reggie.

What makes Sean’s perspective especially interesting to me is that he sits at the intersection of art, business, relationships, and technology—right as all four are beginning to shift.

So at GloryLand, we’re asking a bigger question:

What does the next era of the art world look like—and who is positioned to win in it?

Sean will join art advisor Jessica Phifer for The Future of the Art World, & Who Wins It—a conversation about technology, new buyers, new money, and how the way art is bought, sold, and managed is changing.

And yes… we’re absolutely talking about AI. 👀

📍 Houston, TX
🗓 Friday, October 2 · 3:15 PM CT

Welcome to GloryLand, Sean. 🤎

Welcome to GloryLand, Jessica Phifer. 🌸

Jessica is a Houston native and art advisor with 20 years of experience in the art market, including 15 years at Christie’s and work advising collectors on acquisitions, sales, estates, and philanthropy.

And she’s joining us for a conversation I’ve been looking forward to:

The Future of the Art World, & Who Wins It.

Jessica will sit down with Sean Green, Founder & CEO of Arternal, to talk about where the market is headed as technology, new buyers, and new money continue to change how art is discovered, bought, sold, and collected.

What does the next version of the art world look like?
And more importantly—who is it being built for?

We’re getting into it at GloryLand.

📍 Houston, TX
🗓 Friday, October 2 · 3:15 PM CT
🎥 In person + streaming on YouTube

Welcome to GloryLand, Jessica. 💐
