Indonesia as a country with rich culture and arts, has its own history and characteristics regarding its visual arts development.

They had historical account of establishing Universitaire Leergang voor Tekenleraren (FSRD ITB) and ASRI located in Bandung and Yogyakarta respectively. For the purpose of information propagation regarding these historical data and information of art higher education institutions in Indonesia, came the idea of developing a website that will give information about the history of Indonesian art institutions. The project was initiated by Creative Art Department of Telkom University, which also acts as an art higher education institution. The website development gone through several phases, which includes data collections of art higher education institutions in Indonesia, and using RITE (Rapid Iteration Test and Evaluation) methodology in its development.
