How to Browse Discover
Overview
Discover is the AI Curator catalog where you browse and evaluate art before you contact any seller — it lets buyers and collectors move from curated suggestions to a confident inquiry without leaving the marketplace.
- Who it’s for — buyers, collectors, and anyone exploring art, whether signed in or just looking.
- What it covers — TOP PICKS, ARTWORKS with filters, ARTISTS and GALLERIES with Follow buttons, EVENTS with type filters plus Going and Invite actions, VR ROOM spaces that open their public AI galleries, and EDITORIAL stories.
- What following does — adds that artist’s or gallery’s new artworks to the New Artworks From Users You Follow section on Home and powers follow-based email digests.
- What Inquire to Purchase does — starts a chat with the seller rather than taking payment.
- What you end up with — every discovery tab opened, cards and filters read, artists and galleries followed, and rooms and stories opened.
Moments is a public feed of everyone’s moments — not a following feed.
Before you start
- A Cohart account for the full experience. Signed-out visitors see the same catalog with Log In, Book a Demo, and Start Free in the header.
- No purchase is needed to browse. Choosing Inquire to Purchase starts a real chat with the seller, and Follow only follows without reserving any artwork, so use them deliberately.
- If you plan to follow artists or galleries — following adds their new artworks to the New Artworks From Users You Follow section on Home and powers follow-based email digests. Moments is a public feed of all moments, not a following feed.
Steps
1. Sign in to Cohart
Sign in with your email address and password, or use Google or Apple.

2. Browse Top Picks
After sign-in, open the AI Curator home and click TOP PICKS. Cards show artist, title, and Inquire to Purchase. Scroll down — the list ends with a You’ve reached the end message.

3. Browse Artworks
Click ARTWORKS to Browse Artworks. Use Filter to narrow by price, size, orientation, medium, value, mood, or artist. Cards show artist, title, dimensions (for example Oil 12×34×56in), and price (for example USD 100).
The curation/blocking toolbar is an admin tool, not a buyer feature.

4. Find Inquire to Purchase
On a buyable card, find Inquire to Purchase. Clicking it starts a chat with the seller; on the artwork page, works the seller listed for checkout may also show Add to Cart and Purchase — see How to Buy an Artwork on Cohart.

5. Browse Artists
Click ARTISTS for Featured Artists plus the A-Z Browse Artists index (A B C … Z). Each card carries a Follow button.

6. Follow an artist
Click Follow on any artist card to follow them. Following adds their new artworks to the New Artworks From Users You Follow section on Home and powers follow-based email digests.

7. Browse Galleries
Click GALLERIES for Featured Galleries plus the A-Z Browse Galleries list, with per-gallery Follow buttons.

8. Browse Events
Click EVENTS for Ongoing Events (status ONGOING with dates and venue) plus Browse Events with type filters: All, Exhibition, Art Fair, Gallery Opening, Workshop, Panel Talk, Studio Visit, Museum Show, Other. Event cards offer Going and Invite; ended events state This event has ended.
Sellers manage their own events on the Events page, not here.

9. Filter events by type
Click the Exhibition filter. The list narrows to exhibitions only. Combine with the other type pills the same way.

10. Browse VR rooms
Click VR ROOM to Browse VR rooms. Each card names the room and its owner. When no public rooms exist yet, the page states No content available and There are no items to display.

11. Open a VR room
Click a VR room card to open that gallery’s public 3D experience directly in its own tab.
The gallery table with Favicon, Name, Status, Linked event, and Actions is the owner’s dashboard under AI Gallery — visitors never see it from a room card.

12. Browse Editorial
Click EDITORIAL for art news, spotlights, and collecting guides. Cards show the section (for example Cohart Curate, Spotlight, Blog, or Drop), the title, the author, the date, and the read time.

13. Open an editorial story
Click an editorial card to open the full story. [UNVERIFIED — check manually] the article body layout: card links did not navigate when checked, so the reading view could not be documented.

Tips
- Inquire to Purchase starts a seller chat — no payment is taken from the Discover list itself.
- Follow only follows — it never reserves an artwork.
- Moments and Get Inspired live in the same top nav and are covered separately.
Troubleshooting
- Want to hide artists you do not want to see while browsing? → the curation and blocking toolbar on ARTWORKS is an admin tool, not a buyer feature → use Filter to narrow the list by artist, medium, price, or size instead.
- Filter did nothing → the list may still be loading → click the pill again after the list settles.
- VR room link opens a 3D gallery in a new tab → that is expected: rooms are public AI galleries → the table you may have seen is the owner’s dashboard, not the visitor view.
- Ended event shows no ticket or RSVP actions → ended events state This event has ended → browse Ongoing Events instead.
