Top-level domain
.art domains
Where artists and galleries make their mark
.art is a top-level domain built for the visual creative world: artists, galleries, museums, illustrators, photographers, and anyone showing work online. The name reads as a full word, so a site like studio.art or the address itself states the subject before anyone clicks. It is a new generic top-level domain (not a repurposed country code), launched in 2017 and run by UK Creative Ideas Limited, with open registration through most major registrars. There are no special technical rules to worry about, unlike .dev or .app which force HTTPS at the DNS level.
It fits portfolios, exhibition pages, collective and gallery sites, print shops, and creative studios that want a name tied to their craft. The trade-off is reach. A .com still carries the most familiarity and default trust, and some visitors type .com out of habit, so consider holding the matching .com if you can. Pricing varies by registrar. For a creative project where the extension reinforces what you do, .art turns the whole address into part of the message.

FAQ
What does .art mean or stand for?
It is a generic top-level domain meant for art and visual creativity, so the extension itself reads as a plain word. It was launched in 2017 and is operated by UK Creative Ideas Limited, with anyone allowed to register a name.
Who should use a .art domain?
It suits artists, galleries, museums, photographers, illustrators, design studios, and creative collectives who want a web address that signals their field at a glance. It works well for portfolios, exhibition pages, and online shops selling original or printed work.
Is .art a good fit compared to .com?
For a creative project, .art makes the address describe what you do, which a .com cannot. The trade-off is that .com is more familiar and some people type it by reflex, so registering the matching .com alongside your .art is worth considering.
How do I check if a specific .art domain is available?
Search the exact name you want, like yourstudio.art, in the box above and we check it live. If it is taken, try a nearby word or another keyword and we will surface available .art options.
