Two friends, complete beginners, decided to start collecting art with zero knowledge (unless you count knowing that Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa). Each week on Art Virgins , we share our step-by-step journey into the art world—learning, laughing, and exploring over coffee. Together, we'll uncover how to actually enjoy art, understand different movements, and build a collection no matter your budget. We explore the questions every beginner has but is too shy to ask, like: How do you enjoy a museum without feeling overwhelmed? Do you need to be rich to start an art collection? How does context change the way we experience a piece of art? How do artists redefine movements—and how does personal style and courage shape an artist's legacy? What's the difference between surrealism, pop art, abstract art, and contemporary art? Can street art be both business and authentic expression? How do you prepare for an exhibition so you actually enjoy it? Along the way we share beginner-friendly breakdowns of movements, stories of famous and contemporary artists, visits to exhibitions, museums, and street art shows, plus tips on how to start your own collection—no matter your budget. Art Virgins is for you if you've ever felt: Intimidated by galleries and art jargon. Curious about art but unsure where to start. Overwhelmed by centuries of art history.
