Beowolff Capital has acquired joint ownership of Artsy and Artnet, with CEO Jeffrey Yin managing both entities while they maintain independent operations. This initiative seeks to integrate Artnet's auction services and market data with Artsy's sales platform, creating a technology-focused art ecosystem. In Nashville, Bjarke Ingels Group has revealed plans for the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, a 370,000-square-foot facility that connects the downtown area to the riverfront. During New York Art Week, The Bishop Gallery will present "Our Friend, Jean," highlighting early works by Jean-Michel Basquiat. The 48th Museum Mile Festival is scheduled for June 9, granting free entry to more than 20 institutions. The Toronto Biennial of Art, curated by Allison Glenn, will showcase 30 artists addressing global crises.
