ArtLib.cz (an abbreviation of Art Library) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2012 with the aim of promoting creation of high-quality professional articles on visual art in Czech and English Wikipedia.

Art Library Project[edit]

The Art Library Project in Czech Wikipedia (cs:Wikipedie:WikiProjekt Knihovna umění) was established by Jindřich Nosek[1] in 2012, originally with the aim of creating much-needed articles on modern Czech art, along with portraits of artists and photographic documentation of their artworks. Current project is not focussed solely on modern art, but includes all historic periods of art in Bohemia (or Lands of the Bohemian Crown) and a broad variety of subjects including painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, glass sculpture, tapestry, art brut, conceptual art and photography, galleries, art collections, art history, art schools and techniques. Similar to the predecessor of Wikipedia, called Nupedia, most articles are reviewed by art historians or artists before publication. High standards of quality also apply to photographs in the joint Art Library Project (ALP) on Wikimedia Commons.[2]

In 2015 the project gained the support of the National Gallery in Prague, which donated professional photographs of selected highlights in its collection. This consequently boosted the cooperation of museums, public collections of art and regional galleries. In 2020, the list of partners collaborating with project[3][circular reference] includes over 30 galleries and museums, two publishing houses, art historians, curators and dozens of photographers and artists.

The project has been supported by grants from the Czech Ministry of Culture[4] and Prague City Council, by several foundations (AVAST Foundation, Czech Literary Fund, Galerie Smečky Foundation), by private donors and by contributions made by ArtLib members.
