About Bloomsbury Visual Arts

Interdisciplinary down to an art

The Bloomsbury Visual Arts digital hub brings Bloomsbury’s leading visual arts resources together onto one cross-searchable platform to support an interdisciplinary approach to studies, teaching, and research across architecture, design, gaming, visual arts, and more. DRM-free chapters, articles, and images from different collections become easily discoverable and fit together seamlessly thanks to our unique taxonomy.

“An essential, top-tier resource for the study and practice of the visual arts across all areas.”
Library Journal. More reviews and awards
