Art has always needed agitators—people who commit, dare, challenge,
and roil the status quo. This year’s Art Influencers are just that. They are artists,
vanguards, and visionaries who shift perspectives and invite all of us to see
and engage with the world differently. They are changemakers, artists, and
leaders of the cultural quotient. They are resolute and hopeful, always with the
intention of embracing new audiences.
