They provide information, research, education, and public programs in an attempt to assist people and institutions in their effort to "promote health, enhance the efficient use of water resources, and protect environmental values."

While the name might imply that this service is only useful for art, it has broad applications for any discipline which relies on images for research and teaching. Researchers will be able to upload their personal digital image collections to create databases that will allow them to organize and retrieve images and to add personal research notes. Instructors will be able to upload their personal image collections for lectures and to utilize various pedagogical tools for displaying and presenting images. The tool also has a password-protection feature so that access to images can be limited to different groups of researchers or students.

These have been collected into sets that support the California K-12 content standards.
