In 2011, it became the sole cultural TV channel, a status it has retained to date. In 2014, the channel initiated collaborations with Deven, Disney, Domino, Nvero+, and other companies.

On 22 June 2014, "ART21 TV" launched a new website. Currently, their audience reaches viewers in Armenia and Russia. The channel is available on cable networks.

The TV channel, established to address the void in cultural and educational programming, has been actively producing numerous cultural programs, documentaries, and charity projects. In February 2015, the TV channel started regular IPTV broadcasts across Armenia and in the United States. In 2016, Cultural Channel organized the first cultural television competition-festival, "Cultural Channel Awards Ceremony", during which prizes were awarded to young people who won in the categories of fine arts, cinematography, and clothing modeling.{{Cite web|url=https://armenpress.am/arm/news/900316.html|title=«Մշակութային ալիք» մրցույթի հայտագրումը սկսված է|website=armenpress.am}}
