.art

.art is a generic top-level domain created for the art world and creative work. IANA lists UK Creative Ideas Limited as the sponsoring organization, and the official .ART registry makes names available through participating registrars.

The extension can suit artists, galleries, museums, collectors, studios, exhibitions, art schools, foundations, marketplaces and publications. It is also useful for portfolios where the work itself is the main reason people visit the site. Because “art” is a complete word rather than an abbreviation, the subject is usually clear across a wide international audience.

The official registry processes generally available names on a first-come, first-served basis. Owning a trademark or the same name under another extension does not automatically provide priority to the corresponding .art name. The registry also offers premium inventory, so availability and terms can differ by name.

A .art domain does not establish ownership or authenticity of the works displayed on a website. Registrants remain responsible for trademark, copyright and other rights, while visitors should evaluate provenance and claims independently when those issues matter.
