In a move which is sure to bring further prestige to the art world, the first internet domain dedicated to the global art community, .ART, has been created, and already has more than 60 well-known museums and arts organizations embracing this new creation.

Institutions who have voiced their support include, The Art Institute of Chicago, Centre Pompidou, Fondation Cartier, Hauser & Wirth, Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, LACMA, MAXXI, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Walker Art Center, and Tate.

Early adopters such as AES+F,  Canesso GalleryGalerie Meyer, and FITZ & CO, have already updated their websites and re-launched under the .art domain.
