We want to take you on an adventure.

Founded in 2023, we created ARTSQ to instill a lifelong love of art, archaeology, and history in everyone.

We’re not a massive institution. We’re not anonymous voices behind a wall of text. We’re not standing in a museum talking in hushed whispers. We’re three women with decades of experience in art history, history, and archaeology who believe that learning should be joyful, personal, and for everyone. We choose our materials with care, we obsess over the details, and we design every resource to feel like an adventure.

Our content is made to be accessible, whether you’re new to art history or already an expert.

Our story

We are also all parents, so we know how challenging it is to engage kids!

Developing close-looking skills with sketching.

Empowering kids to understand art with confidence.

Museums can be tough spaces for kids.

We’re here to make art history more joyful, more personal, and more human.
