Wikipaintings.org aims to create a comprehensive, transparent, and accessible online collection of visual artworks without commercialization. The project goals are to stay non-commercial by avoiding ads and paid accounts, report all expenses transparently, and welcome all volunteer contributions. It also aims to make art accessible from any device and location, start with paintings and expand to other visual art forms and genres from prehistory to modern times, and have no judgments on the greatness or significance of works. Milestones include expanding content, functionality, audience reach, and environments over time.
