Welcome to the Artists Wiki: the encyclopedia for artists who aren't on Wikipedia.
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.
Tell us about yourself or your venue, attach files (a résumé, biography, headshots, photos, programs, posters or press clippings) and include links to your website, social media, videos or archived pages. No account is needed. An editor reviews every submission and writes a factual, sourced article. Your email is never published. (Who can be included?)
