We created Go2.art for artists, galleries, nonprofits, arts organizations, theatres, festival organizers, museums, concert promoters — basically any person or organization related to the arts. The idea was to create a hub where people can access all the tools they need to design for and promote their brand or events, all in one convenient place.

Of course! As long as you don't mind having Go2.art as part of your link identity, everyone is welcome to use the service. You may find some of the tools aren't relevant to your interests, but we don't mind if you don't mind.

The Artist Directory is a browsable listing of Go2.art members who have set their profile to public. Click through to any artist's public profile page to see their work and links.

Nope. We're running on good old-fashioned PHP and JavaScript.

Because we hate ads. We are members too and we don't like using ad-cluttered websites. As long as we can afford it, this service will be ad-free and freely available — because we remember when the internet was cool and had neat things to explore, and we want to do our part to keep that dream alive.

Your user info and links are stored in a database on our server. We do not share this information with anyone (unless legally obligated — for which the bar is high) or sell it to third parties. You can request that your data be deleted in your account settings. Note that doing so will permanently remove all your links and data.

Currently available: Shortlinks & Quicklinks, QR code generator, Image Editor, Frame Room (frame and mat your artwork, then share to the community gallery), Random Draw (fair random draws for contests and events), Random Number (quick number picker), and ArtQuest Studio (gamified quests and rewards — free for everyone). More tools are in development, including a Library Checkout System. We also partner with Bubo Social for social media scheduling.

ArtQuest Studio is our gamified community system, free for every member. Complete quests by using tools, sharing your work, and participating in the community to earn Studio Coins and Achievement Points. Use your coins to unlock rewards and decorate your own virtual art studio. The more you create and share, the more your studio grows.

The Frame Room lets you frame and mat your artwork digitally — choose from a variety of frames, mats, and wall textures, preview how your piece looks, and download the result. You can also submit framed pieces to the community gallery for others to browse.

The Image Editor lets you crop, rotate, adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, and more, apply filters, and download your edited photo — all in the browser with no app download needed. It handles HEIC, JPG, PNG, and WebP natively. Vignette Lite members and above can use the full editor and save photos directly to their profile gallery.

Shortlinks are redirect links that turn long, ugly URLs into shorter, prettier ones — like go2.art/Y5GX. We offer two varieties: Shortlinks and Quicklinks.

Shortlinks are great for printed posters and signage, recurring events, exhibit guides, artist portfolios, public art maps, and more. Not only are they easier to write down and remember than long URLs, they also let you update the linked destination without reprinting your materials. Perfect for business cards and brochures.

No... Shortlinks remain active in perpetuity (or at least as long as our servers exist), but they will break if the original website they link to disappears. Broken Shortlinks in your account can be fixed by editing their destination, effectively allowing them to last forever.

...and yes. Quicklinks are temporary Shortlinks that only last 30 days. These are meant for one-time events or announcements you don't need to keep or reuse. Analytics are disabled and you can't edit them, but they don't count toward your free Shortlink limit.

We don't have unlimited database storage, so untracked links are purged 30 days after creation to keep the database clean. If you need permanent links you can manage and edit, use Shortlinks instead.

Users who need more links may purchase Link Bundles from our Shop that provide additional permanent links tied to your account. You can use them yourself or gift them to other users. You can also earn them through community events and by sharing your Join Code with friends.

No. They don't expire or fall off your account. Link Bundles are forever — or as long as we exist, whichever is longer.
