.ART

November 17th 2020 marks the launch of a new partnership between .ART, the digital address for the creative community and Anglo-American University (AAU) in Prague, Czech Republic.  
 
The .ART School Programme was created to support and encourage schools, teachers and educators working in the arts and interested in introducing the necessary tools for building a stronger digital presence as part of their teaching. AAU will be providing their Visual Arts and Journalism departments with standard domains and website builders to prepare students in their learning journey as professional artists. As a part of the curriculum students will create online portfolios and track the progress of their artistic development throughout their three-year program. The offer will be available to both new and existing students at AAU.  

The new generation is a generation of digital natives. Our mission is to empower the creatives of this generation with the necessary tools for advancing in the arts industry in the modern world. We are excited to partner with the reputable Anglo-American University located in the heart of Europe.

.ART Founder 

The partnership is formed at a challenging time when many degree shows, a crucial moment for young artists to connect with potential patrons, are cancelled, while the job market is taking a hit across various sectors. Reliance on connectivity in the current environment requires one to learn to navigate the online space more than ever before to successfully take advantage of all the opportunities offered. Through the partnership, .ART and AAU will be working on introducing guidance and mentoring for students throughout their studies.

This partnership is extremely exciting as it gives students the building blocks to create a truly professional digital presence from their very first day at AAU. By allowing our students to establish a unique domain that they can customize and make their own they not only have a place to display their work and track their progress but a head start in their journey as professional artists and journalists.

Assistant Dean of the School of Journalism, Media and Visual Arts 

Alumna, Aleksandra Artamonovskaja took one of our first art courses, (Art & Cultural Project Management) years ago at AAU when we were just beginning to offer such courses and it is great to be partnering with her now. We owe her a big thank you for reaching out to AAU with this opportunity. The resources that our students will be provided via the partnership with .ART Domains will hopefully be realized and appreciated in their pursuits as students and beyond.

Tony Ozuna, M.A.
Dean, School of Journalism, Media & Visual Arts 

The School Programme will begin by AAU introducing www.AAUvisual.art featuring select works made by students within the art department. The goal is to initiate an online presence for all of our art students and empower them to showcase their work in a digital space outside of the classroom. We hope this partnership will be a facilitator if not an accelerator for their successful careers now and in the future.
