Artnews.lt is a Lithuanian contemporary art online magazine. It publishes exhibition reviews, interviews with artists, photo series from exhibitions and performances, daily art news, an events calendar and guest issues edited by selected editors several times per year.

Artnews.lt is financially supported by the Press, Radio, and Television Support Fund, a public fund from the Lithuanian government, as well as by readers who donate through multiple platforms (including Patreon and PayPal).

The same organisation runs the Baltic contemporary art magazine Echo Gone Wrong, as well as an online bookstore, and the micro-publishing company Artbooks.lt.

In addition to these daily activities, between 2009 and 2013 the NGO organised and hosted the workshop series Three Uses of the Knife, for young art critics and curators. This was done in partnership with the Information Center of the National Art Gallery and the Center for Contemporary Art.
