Why This Art Newsletter Is Different

Sofi on Art newsletter is an independent project — a warm, curious art & creativity newsletter.

Once a week, I’ll send you small gems from the art world: only the most important art stories, quotes, books, films, and ideas to carry into your studio or simply enjoy as a pause in your day. 

It’s designed for:

Practicing artists who want inspiration beyond Instagram reels;

Creators who want to feel connected to the serious art world without reading heavy art magazines;

Curious people who enjoy the conversation around art (quotes, books, films, creativity..).

I’m the friend who browses the stacks — magazines, books, films — and brings back only the best. So you can stay ahead, inspired, and create more.

/ Helen, writer behind Sofi on Art.
