WikiArt

Welcome to WikiArt, our goal is to make world’s art accessible to anyone and anywhere. WikiArt already features some 250,000 artworks by 3,000 artists, localized on 7 languages. These artworks are in museums, universities, town halls, and other civic buildings of more than 100 countries. Most of this art is not on public view. With your active involvement, we are planning to cover the entire art history of the Earth, from cave artworks to modern private collections. We also provide you with tools for translation on as many languages as needed. Financial status The project is non-profit. We use donation and advertising as financial sources to cover hosting and technical service expenses. The content of the site is launched for free by our Volunteer Team – and you are welcome to join it. Check out ‘Donate’ and ‘ how to contribute’ section to know more about it. Copyright policy WikiArt presents both public domain and copyright protected artworks. The latter are showcased in accordance with fair use principle: as historically significant artworks as used for informational and educational purposes as readily available on the internet as low resolution copies unsuitable for commercial use We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement and remove copyright protected artworks, or block them for users from countries where infringement is alerted. But mostly we try to get artist’s permission to demonstrate his art, and confirm it with a credit line. We provide information to help copyright holders manage their intellectual property online.
