About Dear Glory with Moriah Alise

Investigating what it takes
to build sustainable careers,
collections, and ecosystems
in the art world.

From inside the room. On the record. In plain English.

Dear Glory with Moriah Alise is a media company built on that investigation. Long-form conversations on camera. Field reports from the floors of fairs and auctions. An editorial archive. An annual gathering in Houston each October.

Founder & Host

Moriah Alise.

Art-world strategist · Founder & Host · Houston, TX

I started Dear Glory in 2020 because the art world I was working in didn't have anyone naming it plainly. How careers actually get built. How rooms actually open. What success at the top of the market really looks like up close. I wanted those conversations on a record, in front of a camera, with the people who were actually living them.

Five years and 200+ conversations later, Dear Glory is a working platform: a YouTube channel, an editorial archive, a community of artists I'm in regular conversation with, a media partner to brands and institutions doing real work in the field, and a three-day summit in Houston every October.

My day job, before and alongside all of this, is being an art-world strategist. I work with artists, galleries, and institutions across the country on the slow, durable work of building careers. The platform is the part of that work the public can see. Most of the strategy work is private, and that's how it should be.

What I will tell you, publicly, is what I think the field is doing and where I think it's going. That's Dear Glory. It's an extension of how I already spend my hours. From inside the room.

The story so far

Six years, on the record.

Dear Glory didn’t arrive fully formed. It got built one Tuesday at a time — from one camera in Houston to an editorial archive, a member room, and an annual summit. Here’s the working version of the timeline. Some entries are placeholders for the team to confirm.

  1. 2020

    The channel launches.

    Moriah starts publishing long-form conversations on YouTube from Houston. No studio, no team — one camera, one microphone, one premise: the art world, on the record.

  2. 2021

    First long-form interviews land.

    Artists, curators, and gallerists sit for conversations that the rest of the field is still circulating privately. The show finds its voice: direct, editorial, on-the-record.

  3. 2022

    100 episodes · the audience finds the work.

    The channel crosses 100 published conversations. Members of the field start citing Dear Glory in their own work. The thesis videos start landing wider than the interviews.

  4. 2023

    The Glory Edit begins.

    The editorial archive launches as a written counterpart to the channel — profiles, criticism, market analysis. The format that lets the work stand outside the YouTube feed.

  5. 2024

    First brand partnerships on the record.

    UOVO, Black Art In America, and a small handful of institutional partners come on as the first sponsors. Branded reels and field reports begin running — with editorial control kept in-house.

  6. 2025

    GloryLand & The Glory Collective.

    The annual Houston summit GloryLand launches alongside Untitled Art Houston each October. The Glory Collective opens as the member hub on Patreon — GloryLab strategy sessions, the deeper Glory Edit, the working PDF library.

  7. 2026

    200+ conversations on the record. 18,200+ subscribers. Houston as home base.

    Dear Glory is now a six-channel investigation into what it takes to build sustainable careers, collections, and ecosystems in the art world — with a working archive, an annual summit, and a member room that’s growing every month.

Working draft — some milestones approximate. Press, partners, or members with corrections — tell us and we’ll update.
