Artnet News has launched a new four-part podcast mini-series titled "How to Get Ahead in the Art World," produced in partnership with Art Market Mentors. Hosted by editor-in-chief Naomi Rea and produced by Sonia Manalili, the series features insights from top art-world insiders including Cat Manson (former Christie's leader turned career coach), Loïc Gouzer (former Christie's rainmaker and founder of Fair Warning), and Brooke Lampley (senior roles at Sotheby's and Gagosian). Each episode covers a key career lesson: taking ownership of your career, trusting your instincts, leading with passion, and embracing a layoff as a reset.
This series matters because it addresses a real need for practical, insider career guidance in the often opaque and competitive art world. By bringing together high-profile figures from auction houses and galleries, the podcast offers actionable advice for both newcomers and seasoned professionals navigating job changes, market shifts, and career setbacks. It also reflects the growing trend of art-world media expanding into audio content to reach broader audiences.
