Founded in 2022, Impart (formerly MAP Academy) is an online platform dedicated to fostering deeper engagement with South Asia’s art and cultural histories. The organisation develops comprehensive, freely accessible resources that bridge connections between museums, universities, cultural institutions, and the public.

Impart’s initiatives include the first-ever Encyclopedia of Art from South Asia, spanning over 2,000 entries; a suite of Learning Resources, including courses, live lectures, online talks, and videos; Perspectives, an editorial programme featuring contributions from across the region and beyond; and a range of Special Projects, including multimedia efforts, grants, and organisational partnerships. With more than 1.5 million annual visitors, over 15,000 active learners, and a growing network of collaborators, Impart is building a robust online community for art from South Asia.

Impart is a unit of the Art & Photography Foundation and an institutional partner of the Museum of Art & Photography (MAP), Bengaluru.
