Art (New Horizons)

Art pieces are paintings and sculptures that can be purchased from Jolly Redd's Treasure Trawler and donated to the museum, provided they are not forged. Donating the first piece to the museum will allow Blathers to expand the museum, which requires one day of construction.

In New Horizons, the genuine and forged pieces look different, allowing the player to identify them before purchasing. There are 14 pieces that are always genuine, but the majority have a forged version.

The academic painting, detailed painting, glowing painting, mysterious painting, sinking painting, twinkling painting, informative statue, rock-head statue, tremendous statue, and warrior statue are new to New Horizons.

Occasionally, male villagers may mail a resident a piece of art. Jock and Lazy villagers can send any piece of art, which can be either real or fake. Cranky villagers can send sculptures, which can be either real or fake. Smug villagers will send only fake pieces to the player.[1] Female villagers, regardless of personality, will not send art to the player.

Forged art cannot be sold at Nook’s Cranny and will either need to be given to a villager or thrown away in a trashcan in order to get rid of it.

Jolly Redd's Treasure Trawler has four spaces for art, each allowing for different types of art to be displayed. The back-left slot may hold any painting; the front-left slot may hold small paintings only; the back-middle slot may hold small paintings or small sculptures; and the back-right slot may hold any piece of art. As this is the only slot which may contain large sculptures, they are considerably rarer than other pieces of art.

Each time Redd visits, there is a 20% chance for a piece of art not donated to the player's museum to be forced to spawn.

Artwork was introduced in the Earth Day update on April 23rd, 2020.
