First of all, yes: I'm an art snob. I'm not interested in some rando's drawings of dragons, their "badass" OC, crying airbrushed wolves or whatever. Unfortunately, that is pretty much the limits of art communities that I've been able to find on here.
I've been looking for communities here on art theory, art history and movements, contemporary artists and exhibitions, but to no avail. Don't people go to galleries and art museums, or have their own, conceptual or more hands-on art practice?
Or is it just that the threadiverse has inherited so many Reddit neckbeards that it's basically hostile to any form of aesthetic intellectualism?
To preempt suggestions of "just start your own" — yeah, but I'm looking for a community more than just me going on about my preferences.
So I'm hoping somebody can tell me I just suck at searching and there are several communities just like I've been looking for. Second best result would be a handful of other art snobs going "YES! I'D LOVE THAT TOO," so we can at least co-mod a new community together.
Thanks in advance!

I've used Matrix for a long time, both on desktop and mobile, and although I'd rather be rid of electron Element is pretty hard to beat...
One issue I hadn't foreseen with Element is that it only supports one account. I recently started a new one on a non-matrix.org server, and until I've figured out how to migrate, I use Fluffychat on mobile instead.
Fluffy is real smooth too, but has its quirks that make me kind of long for Element again.
My first impression was the lead developer calling a PR for gender neutral pronouns in the documentation "personal politics". Pardon me if I'm still underwhelmed, no matter the state of the project.
