History
Databaza.art was established by Galeria Qahili in 2019, a private art gallery based in Prishtina, Kosovo. This digital database was created as there was no centralized site concerning the history of Kosovo art and culture. The aim is that this digital and historic database will provide comprehensive information about the art development of Kosovo. Its establishment began as a personal project, a research study of Nita Qahili, the director of Galeria Qahili, on artistic careers of artists from Kosovo. The creation of this database was of utmost importance for that particular study, hence its building clarified artistic evolution, and development of artists' careers starting as of the 40s.

Collaboration
Databaza.art has been initiated and developed by Galeria Qahili. The Presidential Office of Kosovo supported the implementation of the database.
