Investors see ANOTHER return from Masterworks (!!!!)

That’s 6 sales in 7 months. 29 all time. And the performance?

16.5%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, net annualized returns on sold works held longer than one year (See all 29 at Masterworks.com)

It’s not from stocks, private equity, or real estate… it’s from contemporary and post war art. Crazy, right?

With Masterworks, you don’t need to be a BILLIONAIRE to invest in multi-million dollar art anymore.

Historically, the segment overall has had attractive appreciation and low correlation to stocks.*

Masterworks targets works featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, identifying what they believe to have significant long-term appreciation potential, not just at the artist level but at the level of individual artworks.

As one of the largest players in the art market, with $1.3 billion invested over 500 artworks, they pass critical advantages through to their 70,000+ members to add art to their portfolios strategically.

Looking to diversify your investments in 2026?

*According to Masterworks data. Investing involves risk. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. See important Reg A disclosures at masterworks.com/cd.

New Fishing Piers Coming to
the Baytown Nature Center

At last week's Baytown City Council meeting, council members approved an agreement with Native Construction to remove and dispose of the aging fishing piers at the Baytown Nature Center and build four new replacement piers.

The project is expected to receive partial FEMA reimbursement, helping restore and improve fishing access for visitors.

Public Invited to Preview Designs
for ExxonMobil Baytown
Events Center & Library

Baytown residents are invited to get a first look at the future of the ExxonMobil Baytown Events Center and Sterling Municipal Library during a Design Showcase on Thursday, July 30th, at 6:00 p.m. in the Baytown Community Center Auditorium, 2407 Market Street.

The showcase will highlight what residents shared during the recent public forum and community survey, explain how that feedback is shaping the projects, and present early design concepts for both the Events Center and the Sterling Library renovation.
