Artura is a digital image-library of 2,000+ artworks created by Native American, African, African American, Latin, Latin American, Asian, Asian American, Caribbean, White American, and European artists of the Postmodern era (approximately 1960 to the present). The collection specializes in fine-art printmaking processes. Our mission is to help as many people as possible to experience the wonder of learning from other cultures. Artura is a free and open educational resource, powered by the Brandywine Workshop and Archives. The heart and soul of Artura is our global community of volunteers, contributors, art historians, educators, artists and art lovers like yourself — all united to promote diversity in culture and society.
Over the past 50 years, Brandywine Workshop & Archives has produced a diverse collection of over 2,000 original artworks, hosted over 500 multicultural artists from the U.S. and around the world, and now has more than 800 prints displayed in Satellite Collections at 20 institutions across North America. In additional to our visiting artist programs, BWA sponsors high school and college internships in printmaking, digital media, and collections management.
