Artnet News has published its second annual Innovators List, highlighting 35 individuals from across the global art world who are driving change. The list, curated with input from 50 art-world leaders, features a diverse range of ages and geographies, spotlighting pioneers in digital art, institutional reform, new sales models, and Web3.
This list matters because it identifies key figures shaping the future of the art sector during a period of economic uncertainty and technological transition. By focusing on those building new market centers, integrating new media into traditional institutions, and fostering a less exclusive art world, the list serves as a barometer for the evolving priorities and power structures within the industry.
