Dear Glory with Moriah Alise

Nobody tells you that the art world is something you have to learn how to navigate.

You walk in because you love it.
You walk in because you believe in the work.
You walk in because of passion, admiration, curiosity, and hope.

And then, at some point, you start to notice the politics.
The gatekeepers.
The unspoken rules.
The doors that don’t open the way you thought they would.

This video is a personal reflection on what navigating the art world has taught me about reputation, relationships, common interests, real friendship, responsibility, and learning how to find the third door when the front door isn’t available.

Because you’re not lost.

You’re navigating.

And sometimes the most important thing you can do is stop waiting for someone to open the door and start looking for another way in.

Dear Glory with Moriah Alise

I was recently in a small room with art storage professionals, insurers, estate managers, and appraisers. People who deal with serious collections every day at the highest level.

I asked them: what's the biggest problem you keep running into?

Every single person said the same thing.

Lots of galleries are not educating their collectors on what to do after the sale. They aren't giving them any storage guidance. No insurance conversation. No documentation framework or app recommendation. Nothing. 

And these professionals.. and more importantly, the collectors.. are dealing with the consequences of that gap every single day.

This week I'm going deep on that gap — Tuesday live at noon and Thursday on YouTube.

If you've ever bought a piece of art — did anyone tell you what to do next?

Yesterday I went live to talk about my experience at expo Chicago. I also shared a few thoughts with you directly from a couple of galleries. This was a good one. Join the conversation!

Good morning everyone ☀️

Just a quick note! Monday Morning Office Hours start at 9:30 AM CST inside The Glory Collective.

This is a space where artists bring real questions from their practice and we work through them together. Sometimes it’s about preparing for a studio visit, responding to a collector, thinking through an exhibition opportunity, or figuring out the next strategic move in their career.

These conversations happen live every Monday morning, along with our Thursday Glory Lab sessions where we go deeper into different parts of building a sustainable career as an artist.

If you’ve ever watched a video here and thought, “I wish I could ask a question about my own situation,” that’s exactly what this space is for.

Meet me Tomorrow on Zoom for a 1:1!

Monday Morning Office Hours - Tomorrow

Tomorrow morning we’re back for Monday Morning Office Hours inside The Glory Collective.

This is a space where artists can bring real situations from their practice and we talk through them together.

Sometimes artists come in with questions like:

• “I have a studio visit this week, how should I present my work?”
• “A collector asked about pricing, how should I respond?”
• “I’ve been invited into a show but I’m not sure if this space aligns with my goals.”

Office Hours are intentionally short and focused, so that everyone who joins can receive clear direction for their next move.

📍 Monday
⏰ 9:30 AM CST
📍 Inside The Glory Collective on Patreon

If you're inside the Building Glory or Mastering Glory levels, you already have access.

And if you’ve been watching the channel and wishing you had a place to ask questions about your own practice.. this is exactly why The Glory Collective exists.

Hope to see some of you in the room tomorrow.

Dear Glory with Moriah Alise

Last night inside The Glory Collective, we had a really strong Glory Lab session about building an artist-focused website - specifically what collectors, curators, and galleries actually need to see when they research your work online.

We walked through real artist website examples, talked about how to structure your pages, what assets you need before you even start building the site, and how your website connects to being research-proof (something we talked about last week with Instagram strategy).

If you missed it, the replay is now available inside The Glory Collective on Patreon - both the video and the audio version are uploaded.

I do recommend watching the video for this one, because we go through a lot of visual examples of artist websites that are really helpful to see.

If you're serious about building your practice and want access to these weekly sessions, come join us inside The Glory Collective.
