Wikipedia:GLAM/Cleveland Museum of Art

Welcome to WikiProject Cleveland Museum of Art on the English Wikipedia! We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio. This includes articles directly related to the museum, as well as any artworks or artists in the Museum's collections.

This project is part of the worldwide GLAM efforts.

The project's goals include editing, enhancing and creating new articles, multimedia, and metadata related to:

1. The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA)
2. Notable artworks, artifacts, and other items in the CMA's collection
3. Notable artists and historic figures who have significant presence in the CMA's collection
4. Art genres from across the world's cultures represented in the CMA collection

On January 23, 2019, the Cleveland Museum of Art announced its conversion into an Open Access institution. The Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication was assigned for the Museum's images and data.

At the Cleveland Museum of Art, Open Access means the public now has the ability to share, collaborate, remix, and reuse images of as many as 30,000 public- domain artworks from the CMA’s world-renowned collection of art for commercial and non-commercial purposes. In addition, portions of collections information (metadata) for more than 61,000 artworks, both in the public domain and those works with copyright or other restrictions, works are now available.

In June 2019, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Ohio Wikimedians User Group, and Neal Stimler (who had previously led the implementation of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access program) started collaborating to start this WikiProject dedicated to improving Wikipedia with photos provided by the CMA, as well as improving articles related to the Museum, its artworks, and artists featured prominently in its collections.

Improve Wikidata listings

There are thousands of Wikidata items for works in CMA's collection. Check out the CMA WikiProject on Wikidata for a comprehensive overview of items, their property coverage, and what items have entries across all Wikimedia projects. These items can be improved by adding and expanding descriptions in various languages, as well as expanding with new properties, including what each painting depicts.
