AskART Academic provides your academic community with access to the most comprehensive website on both historical and contemporary American artists.

While other art databases cover just the “big” names in American art, AskART covers more than 82,000 American artists from all periods and all regions of the country – even professional artists living in your own community.

During the past twenty years, AskART’s editorial mission has remained the same: meet the needs of the most discriminating scholars. We are proud to have become widely regarded as the central clearinghouse for all kinds of information about American art. Now, we are even more pleased to announce that our databases have grown significantly broader and deeper.

Plus, AskART Academic is your most affordable resource.

The AskART Web site is easy to use and search – there is no training required for your staff, students, or visitors, and the site is simply accessed on-line from any computer in your library.
