About Us

What’s in a name?

Directory.art is born out of a vision to be the landing page for the art world. A directory for artists. A directory for collectors. A directory for those offering and looking for artistic services? Why? Because the greatest barrier for participants in the art industry is the fragmented and dispersed experience that exists when navigating it. We are not a marketplace. We are a directory. What’s in a name? Everything.

We build on the .ART domain because of a shared vision to provide participants in the art world with real tools to improve their experience. We believe that details matter, and who we work with says alot about who we are. Mondoir builds on .ART, but our partnership is more than just tactical: it’s visionary.

Directory will be the landing page for the art world. We aim to be the starting place for people of all walks engaging with the art industry. Creators, collectors, businesses, and those new and looking to learn. We focus on solving problems in three areas: Create, Discover and Display
