“What I think is very compelling about .ART is that it offers artists like myself a safe space, a domain name, in which you know that your work is absolutely owned by you in terms of registration and documentation.”
Martha Fiennes
Artist and filmmaker – yugen.art

Shen Wei

“I actually bought the domain years before opening the gallery, when .ART was up and coming! I thought it was a great idea, and I felt strongly about having a .art domain because of its specificity to the industry. It’s less corporate than .com and more contemporary than .net.”
Mitra Khorasheh
Owner & Curator of signs and symbols, signsandsymbols.art
“I’ve been telling my artists to get .ART because .com is related to commerce and business and .ART immediately puts you in a place that people understand you in the art platform.”
Steven Sacks
Bitforms Gallery founder – bitforms.art
“When you’re on a .ART domain you know that you will be looking at quality content. It’s giving a house and a roof to this entire community of art creators and influencers”

“.ART is a global community, switching to this domain zone is a no-brainer for the whole worldwide art scene.”
Gijs Stork
Founder of salon.art
“It is descriptive and short. At the same time, one can quickly identify the respective genre and its contents. It’s immediately clear that any website within this domain zone is related to art, so the viewer has a clear understanding what works they’ll find within it. I think a .ART domain is the perfect solution to display art related content on the web.”
Christopher Bauder
Artist, skalar.art
“We chose .ART because it instantly communicates our mission and identity. Rather than identifying ourselves as a commercial entity (.com) or situating us within the borders of our country (.ca), the .ART signifier identifies us within a community of artists and institutions, each operating in their own context, but also as part of a global community.”
John Hampton
Interim Executive Director & CEO, MacKenzie Art Gallery, mackenzie.art
“For me, .ART was a way to distinguish my artistic practice from my other work and general online presence. It is a really good way for me to showcase my artworks online and my portfolio, and it’s obvious for everyone what it is.”
Ronen Tanchum
Artist, ronentanchum.art
“I chose .ART in order to bring context to my website name davidspriggs.art. I prefer that my artwork be seen for itself rather than as a commercial product for which .com stands.”
David Spriggs
Artist – davidspriggs.art
“The reason why I chose .ART was because I wanted the company name to be the domain. I wanted everything to be as simple as possible. In order for this principle of simplicity to be felt in every detail, the first step was to choose the company’s name – the domain is precisely describing what we do as a company.”
Victoria Dejaco
Founder of cloud-based art management system simplify.art
Why .ART’s Extended Fields Matter for the Museum Community
.ART is the first domain registry in internet history to receive ICANN approval to expand standard WHOIS fields. This patented process allows us to introduce Art Records — structured, interoperable data fields designed specifically for cultural objects.
Built on Object ID™, the Getty-developed international standard for cataloging artworks, Art Records let institutions attach essential information about an object’s creation, materials, dimensions, provenance, or ownership directly to their .ART domain.
Whois record for Karlbrullov.art domain
Because these records are part of the distributed golbal Whois record database, they are:
-
Publicly visible in any WHOIS search
-
Tamper-resistant
-
Aligned with cataloguing practices
-
Interoperable across the digital ecosystem
This makes .ART the only domain zone where a domain can also serve as a trusted metadata layer.
Example: www.Karlbrullov.art
