Choose the identity behind the work
An artist’s name can remain useful across exhibitions and media. A project name may fit a single body of work better. Think about which identity you want visitors to remember.

Is .art right for your idea?
Give the work context
Titles, dates, materials and a short explanation can make a collection easier to understand. Credit collaborators and only publish material you have permission to use.
Explain enquiries and sales separately
Tell visitors whether work is available to buy, view or commission. Domain registration does not supply a shop, payment processing or proof of authenticity.

How .art fits into the domain system
IANA’s .art registry record dates from June 2016. It identifies UK Creative Ideas Limited as the registry operator. A generic ending centred on art. This is the registry-record date, rather than a claimed public launch date.

Questions about .art domains
Is .art only for professional artists?
The art theme can also suit projects and collections. It does not certify professional status.
Does .art prove that a work is authentic?
No. A standard domain registration here is not a certificate of authenticity or an ownership record for an artwork.
Can it point to an existing portfolio?
Yes, if the platform supports a custom domain. Follow its connection instructions.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
