If you want to be an artist, you need to know how to get your work in front of the right audience. For many artists, that starts with a .art web domain, offering instant identity and credibility to any creative individual looking to showcase their work.

Get a .art domain name

While a domain name may not seem like such a big deal, it can actually make a huge impact on getting noticed in the digital space. As of last summer, there were more than 161 million registered .com domain names. The also-popular .net domain suffix showed more than 13 million registered.

But when it comes to painters, graphic designers, performance artists, fashion designers and others, there are just about 220,000 of those creative types in the .art domain. That means you stand a much better chance of scoring a short, impactful web address that will help you and your work rise to the top of Google searches and other algorithms.

With your work displayed under a .art URL, you instantly build brand identity as an artist while allowing everyone — from buyers and collectors to plain-old art lovers — to find and start appreciating your craft. While a .art web handle can help you break through the web’s cacophonous white noise, there are also some major practical advantages.

An easy marketing boost for less than $10 a year

The .art domain is more than just a URL — it’s a supportive community that offers a network for creative people to connect with fellow artists. Meanwhile, a .art address also comes with an important marketing upside, including a free website builder and elements like cutting-edge galleries to display work at its best. Users also get their own .art email address to help make communication and amplifying a message even easier.

“.ART has provided half of the marketing for us,” said jobs.art founder Clynton Lowry. “It’s like the readymade, but for online identities.”

To join the .art revolution, go to the .art flagship store, search for the domain name you want, then make your purchase, with most available for as low as $9.95 per year.  New users can receive 50% off their first year with code CULTOFMAC50.
