The ARTA Blog

Last year, ARTA prioritized a number of initiatives set to address the formidable challenges of climate change. Our goals were to both become a thought leader and first mover in the industry —encouraging dialogue, participating in discussions around emissions reductions for shipping, and helping to educate broader audiences—as well as to take immediate action to measure, reduce, and offset our own emissions. To highlight a few projects we are most proud of from our efforts to date: we published a white paper on the impact of fine art shipping on the environment, which informed and guided organizations on taking the first steps to measure their carbon footprint; we joined and became active members of the Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC); we engaged The Carbon Accounting Company to measure the 2020 carbon footprint of all ARTA shipments, and we “offset” (more on that terminology here) those emissions on behalf of our clients by contributing ARTA's Strategic Climate Funds to permanent tropical forest conservation.

We've got a new domain name! Read on to understand the rationale behind this update. Most importantly, this should have very little impact on our clients, and our products and service offerings remain the same. 

While our API is very straightforward, we understand that different clients have various needs and resources. That's why we’ve invested in a suite of ARTA-hosted services that allow clients to get up and running faster with fewer technical resources. Read on to learn about our hosted services.

Charles Moffett, a contemporary art gallery in NYC, worked with GrayBits to design and develop his website and content management system that integrates ARTA in a new and innovative way. Read on to learn more about the integration.

We recently published a press release announcing 10 new ARTA API integrations will be live by the end of this summer. Read on to learn more about our newest partners.

One of the questions we often get from potential clients is where exactly we ship to and from. What does "global" mean for ARTA? We break that down in this blog post.

We are excited to announce we will be hosting a number of webinars focused on our API in the coming months. This blog post summarizes information about each webinar, and contains a link to register or view a recording.

We are thrilled to announce that ARTA has raised $4.5 Million in seed financing with participation from new and existing investors.

We are excited to announce that our integration with Artland, a marketplace for contemporary art that connects galleries with collectors across the world, is now live, bringing a number of notable benefits to all three parties within Artland’s ecosystem. Read on to learn more about the integration.

Our API Client Dashboard allows our clients to manage integrations, settings, API keys, shipments, documents, and payments—all in one place. Learn more about our newest product feature.
