About the registry
Mantrell is an open registry of individual artists (painters, sculptors, photographers, illustrators, printmakers, ceramicists, digital and new-media artists) and of art galleries as organisations — commercial galleries, artist-run spaces and non-profit art spaces — together with the links between them: which gallery represents which artist. It currently lists 962 artists and 1,065 galleries.
What we collect
For an artist: name and other spellings, country, city, years, medium, a short description, their own websites and public profiles, the galleries that represent them. For a gallery: name, legal form if published, country, city, address, websites, phone numbers, the people named on its site (name and role) and the artists it represents.
Email addresses are not published
We record email addresses only when they are published openly — on the artist's or gallery's own website or in an open dataset — together with the page where we found them. They are never shown on this site, in its structured data or in its sitemap.

Wikidata is available under CC0. OpenStreetMap data is © OpenStreetMap contributors and available under the Open Database License. Facts taken from a website are linked to that website on each record. Every record shows its sources and the date they were read.
Our crawler identifies itself as ChakloonBot, follows robots.txt and reads only public pages:
the home page and a few pages such as “contact”, “about” or “CV”. It does not log in anywhere.
Remove or correct a record
Every record has a link “Remove or correct this record”. A removal request hides the record immediately and keeps it out of future updates. A correction request is reviewed by a person.
Nothing is sent to the people and galleries listed here: the registry only collects and shows public information.
