šThank You for Making This Year Meaningful
From community milestones to real conversationsāsee what we built together and whatās coming next
Hey there,
As we step into a new year, we wanted to pause. Not to rush ahead but to look back with gratitude.
Because if thereās one thing we know about HR and People Leaders, itās this:
you rarely stop, you rarely get applause, and yet, you shape everything. š±
You build cultures.
You listen when itās hard.
You lead through change, uncertainty, and growthāoften quietly.
So this New Year, this note is for you.

Investors see ANOTHER return on Masterworks (!!!)
Thatās 3 sales this quarter. 26 sales total.
And the performance?
14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% ā The three most representative annualized net returns.
(See all 26 at Masterworks.com)
Masterworks is the biggest platform for investing in an asset class that hasnāt moved in lockstep with the S&P 500 since ā95.
In fact, the market segment they target outpaced the S&P overall in that time frame.*
Not private equity or real estate⦠Itās contemporary and post war art. Crazy, right?
Masterworks investors are typically high net worth, but the point is that you donāt need to be a capital-B BILLIONAIRE to invest in high-caliber art anymore.
Banksy. Basquiat. Picasso and more.
80+ of the worldās most attractive artists have been featured.
511+ artworks offered
$67.5mm paid out as of December 2025
