About wikiArS is an initiative to involve art and design schools in the Wikimedia movement's projects and goals while contributing to making human knowledge accessible to everyone. wikiArS is an acronym for the Wikimedia movement plus Art and Design Schools. wikiArS is at the intersection of the GLAMwiki initiative, which involves the cultural sector (galleries, libraries, archives, museums and organizations) and Wikieducation initiatives, exploring the possibilities of enhancing education through participation in Wiki projects. wikiArS is designed to be useful to students in their learning activities as well as providing images and content for the Wikipedia and other free culture projects. + wikiEducation = wikiArS Pilot Project: wikiArS started in the 2011-12 Academic Year with internships by Llotja art school students at Amical Viquipèdia. Since then, other art and design schools have joined the initiative.
