We begin SUNI’s Pride Month with a conversation that brings history and heart to the canvas. Jamie Nares, a trailblazing British painter who came out as transgender in 2019, shares her journey as she crafts sweeping motions of truth and beauty on canvas.

Meanwhile, the once-remote world of art market gambling is being challenged by Kalshi, a sports betting company seeking to democratize the market. It’s an intriguing move, but will it just be another high-stakes game, or can it open doors for new players?

Nantes these tales across continents: from New York City to Rome, artists and their legacies are being celebrated with nuanced depth and unyielding spirit. For Nares, the key is stripping away the superfluous to uncover the essence of life itself.

As we explore the intersections of art, identity, and commerce, it’s clear that this is about more than just sales. It’s a conversation about who gets to tell their story in the grand narrative of art history.
