Art, Resources and Teaching (A.R.T.), based in Bangalore, India, was founded in 2001 to strengthen and foster relationships within and beyond the perimeters of art and architectural history, archaeology, craft, design and related disciplines. A.R.T.?s initiative lies in promoting research, gathering resources, and generating creative explorations and teaching methodologies. Working in both formal and non-formal educational fora, A.R.T. seeks to democratize art history and research, promote greater literacy about the politics of art and facilitate critical inquiries and practices.

A.R.T. gathers academics, historians, artists, craftspersons, students and various other individuals and groups who have contributed to, and who continue to work towards the common goal of increasing cultural and historical awareness in the contemporary global context.
