LettsArt Trends: Artist Solidarity in January Sales

Welcome to 2026!

We hope you had a great festive break, full of rest and enjoyment. Maybe some creative time too? As we roll into January, we’re seeing a brilliant trend emerge on LettsArt : artists using their festive funds to buy other artists’ work .

Not gadgets. Not guilt-induced gym memberships. Art. From peers. From studios they admire. From creators building their practice right now.

And honestly? We love to see it.

January has always been about reassessment. What do I value? What inspires me? What do I want more of this year?

For artists, the answer is often deceptively simple: more art in my life .

Buying work from fellow artists isn’t just a transaction - it’s solidarity. It’s research. It’s creative nourishment. And it’s one of the most meaningful ways to support an independent art economy that we're all part of.

With LettsArt, artists are using Art Intelligence to discover work thoughtfully, intentionally and on their own terms.

Your secret weapon: the LettsArt AI Assistant

The fastest (and frankly most fun) way to explore other artists’ work on LettsArt is through the LettsArt Assistant . Think of it as a studio-mate with impeccable taste and infinite patience.

Instead of endless scrolling, you can simply ask a single question.

You can find LettsArt Assistant right inside your dashboard - just tap the ✨ sparkle icon at the top of your LettsArt dashboard, or open the yellow chat icon at the bottom-right corner of LettsArt.com. It’s always ready to help you create, connect and discover.

Here are a few prompts artists are already using to turn Christmas money into January inspiration:

• “Show me abstract painters working with bold colour palettes.”
• “Find emerging UK artists whose work would suit a small home studio.”
• “I love minimal line drawings - show me artists exploring that style.”
• “Surface figurative work under £500 by independent artists.”
• “Introduce me to photographers experimenting with light and shadow.”
• “What artists on LettsArt are influenced by nature and landscape?”

A virtuous circle for 2026

Artists supporting artists. Studios funding studios. Creativity circulating where it belongs.

If you’ve got a little Christmas money left and an itch for inspiration, let the LettsArt Assistant take you somewhere unexpected. Ask better questions. Discover new voices. Start the year by putting art back into the hands - and homes - of artists.

Here’s to a 2026 filled with curiosity, generosity and seriously good taste.

Happy New Year!
