Sponsored by the de Hilster family
The Artists Wiki is sponsored by the de Hilster family in appreciation of all the artists they have known through the years.
The wiki was created by David de Hilster, a visual artist and computer scientist who saw the need for artists to have a place for their biographies. The family also includes the musical theatre performer Luanda de Hilster and the costume designer Doris de Hilster.

Welcome to the Artists Wiki: the encyclopedia for artists who aren't on Wikipedia.

Artist Wiki emblem
Most working artists never get a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia only covers people who have already received significant coverage in newspapers, books or major media. That leaves out the painter with a lifetime of exhibitions, the actor with dozens of stage roles, the singer, dancer, costume designer and filmmaker whose careers are real and documented but who haven't been written up by the press.

This wiki is for them. Every artist with a genuine body of work can have a factual, sourced biography here: visual artists, theatre artists, musicians, dancers, designers, filmmakers and writers. If an artist later gets a Wikipedia article, their page here stays as a fuller record of their work. Read more about the idea

Artists and venues: get your page

Are you an artist or venue that isn't on Wikipedia? You are invited to add yourself. Actors, singers, musicians, dancers, painters, photographers, designers, filmmakers and writers are all welcome, and so are the theatres, galleries, studios, schools and companies where art is made, including ones that have closed.
