For the first two, I think the artifact not found can be on a new line to be clearer, with the exception separate. The chained exceptions should be on a new line, and some might benefit from being rethrown without adding new information if the message is already sufficient.
For the last, I'd like to see each artifact not found on a new line, with the error at the bottom (which should be artifacts, not artifact).
