Build your creative identity with a .art domain name

.art is for artists, designers, performers, craftsmen, filmmakers, curators, galleries, museums, cultural institutions, creative entrepreneurs, and anyone building a professional identity rooted in creativity and culture.

.art is used for portfolios, studio websites, museum platforms, online exhibitions, artist collectives, cultural initiatives, design studios, performance companies, Web3 art projects, NFT platforms, and creative personal brands.

.art is operated by UK Creative Ideas Limited under a registry agreement with ICANN signed on March 24, 2016. The domain became publicly available on May 10, 2017. The .art Registry is dedicated to serving the global arts and culture community by supporting digital identity, innovation, and initiatives that promote the social impact of art.

Yes. .art offers compatibility with blockchain naming systems, allowing you to connect your domain to wallets and Web3 digital assets while also using it as a traditional website address.

Premium names are short, catchy, or high-value .art domains that are especially sought after (like curator.art or craft.art). They’re priced differently from standard names because of their branding potential and strong recognition value.

A domain name is the human-friendly address people type into their browsers when they’re trying to get to your website, like my-website.com. Websites rely on the domain name system (DNS), which uses numeric addresses to route traffic all over the web. Domain names are assigned to those numeric addresses to make it easier for humans to remember and locate individual websites. 

They work together but are two distinct things. Think of your domain name as your address or location on a map, and your website as your home or store, where you keep your things.

A TLD, or "top-level domain," is the last segment of a web address (URL), after the final dot. Common TLDs are .com, .org, .net, and .art!

Yes! Once you register a .art domain name and connect it to your site, you can choose whether it becomes the primary address for your site. You might also decide to keep the existing primary name and have .art redirect to it.
