Artists Cut Through Digital White Noise With .ART Website Domains

A surprisingly positive outcome of the pandemic is the renewed vigor with which artists and art institutions are going digital. With major players like Gagosian launching its temporary, high-end salesroom and Sotheby’s hosting online-only auctions, it’s clear that unparalleled opportunities are awaiting the art world online.

However, the flip side of this boom is an increasing amount of digital “white noise.” Perhaps one of the biggest challenges facing the artistic community in this context is the need to have a way to identify, establish, and promote oneself digitally, but to do it with the same charm and character attributes that are normally conveyed offline.

Here’s where .ART comes in with unique website names to set individuals apart from the rest of the crowd. None of us had the chance to choose our given names, but digital identities are a whole other story. By choosing yourname.ART for your website, you create a point of entry for all inquiries about your professional background, work, and projects. You can stop worrying about aligning all of the profile names of your media platforms because with .ART, your website becomes the umbrella of your digital identity.
