We want to take you on an adventure.
Founded in 2023, Cortney, Heather, Lauren, and Ellen (experts in the history of art and archaeology) decided it was time to embark on their own quest through time and space. And we want to take you along with us. We created ARTSQ to instill a lifelong love of art, archaeology, and history in everyone, from kids to kids-at-heart. We believe that learning should be fun and accessible, with books and videos and creative projects to make history come alive. We want to spark your passion and imagination.
We recognized a need for igniting interest in our shared human history across the world in quirky and creative ways, such as discovering cultures through cats, mythical creatures, technologies, and other cool stuff. We encourage close looking as a way to open portals into other places. We also spotlight amazing women in art and archaeology.
Come along with us to explore the wonders that lie within the strokes of a brush or the deep chambers of a tomb. There are tales hidden in every work of art made across time and cultures.
