The Swiss Art Portal

In January 1996 Arthur Woods launched the swissart network with the domain name "www.swissart.ch". The original goal was to provide the Swiss contemporary art scene with a variety of high quality Internet services necessary for its success in this important new media. In addition to offering basic Internet services such as web design and hosting, www.swissart.ch was conceived to become the most comprehensive online guide to Switzerland's contemporary art scene.

In 1998, the swissart Agenda - an up-to-date agenda listing the exhibitions found in art galleries and museums throughout Switzerland - was initiated. Not only did this useful service create a following of regular visitors, but it enabled the swissart network to promote the activities and exhibitions of its clients.

In June 1998, swissart GmbH was established. At this time an international "link" section was installed so that the swissart network would become an integral part of a more global art network. Today more than 4000 art sites around the world are listed in this growing database, and swissart network is listed on many of these art sites as well. As more and more artists and galleries began to design and implement their own websites, in 1999 the swissart Membership program was commenced to enable any external art site to become integrated into the swissart network and to share its benefits.

In the spring of 2000, editorial reports were added to the swissart News . This new feature has gradually evolved into a more regular series of Swiss and international art reports in English, German and French.

With the constant evolution of Internet and the corresponding technologies swissart network was re-launched with a new design in 2001 under the domain name , reflecting both the "network" and the "global" aspects of its activities.

- the Swiss Art Portal - invites and welcomes, not only Swiss, but also art professionals from around the world to join our growing art network.
