On July 16th, deviants gathered in Berlin for an evening that none of us wanted to end. (Literally, they had to drag us out of the beautiful event space!) The setting alone set the tone: a 150-year-old blacksmith forge, alight with a gentle garden, wooden architecture, and an air of reverent history meets modern warmth. The space itself was tucked away like a creative hideout waiting to be discovered. And whenever a bunch of artists meet up, lots of art is sure to be created, and that's exactly what happened. Before the event even started, the energy could be felt by everyone. Out in the garden, @mjdo-x took to the canvas on easels and created artwork that stopped people in their tracks. [DEVIATION] Artists traveled from near and far, filling the space with great conversation, and making the night feel less like meeting for the first time and more like the natural offline extension of our vibrant community. Host Lauren (@TheLaurenVerse ) and Peter (@pgorniak) kicked off the

For 26 years, DeviantArt has been home to artists from every corner of the world, from different cultures, speaking unique languages, and weaving traditions, stories, and artistry to connect through a love of creating.

You may have heard that DeviantArt is now available in five languages. More languages are coming soon!  [DEVIATION] Read this journal in German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, or Dutch! [DEVIATION] [EMOTE] Share a piece of your world [EMOTE] [DEVIATION] Create something that depicts the real you, whether that's a tradition, a story, or a depiction of your identity.

Have you ever seen a staff or volunteer symbol or ambassador badge and wondered "Who DAt?" Welcome to the interview series that's hittin' DA streets to find out more about these very deviants. [EMOTE] Featuring a Wild Card question which is selected at random from a pool of questions. If you have a suggested random/fun question to add to the list, please feel free to comment here. [DEVIATION] Ahoy! If you'd be so kind, what is your preferred name? Also, do tell, what is the delightfully devious story of your username?  I like Joe best. A few people still call me “Joey” but only those people are still allowed because they are grandfathered in from my childhood and, yes, one of those people is my mom. My legal name is Joseph, but it’s not my favorite. I mean, I guess I could legally change it to “Joe” but uuuuuuggggghhh seems like such a drag so here we are 😃  I’m not sure it’s a delightfully devious story, but “vagrantscout” has been my handle since 2003 when I was the community

DeviantArt is proud to announce a new opportunity for deviants to contribute to the community at a deeper level! The Ambassador program is designed to give deviants a chance to bring artists together, offer ways for artists to hone their skills or try new things, and help shape the future of the community.  Deviants eligible to participate in the Ambassador program are those who are co-founders or top contributors of official DeviantArt groups or affiliated groups. There are many factors that determine whether or not deviants might be a good fit for the Ambassador program, but all potential ambassadors should: Frequently run or organize community events Routinely be active participants in their community Consistently encourage and cheer on other artists Ambassadors will have direct contact with and support from DeviantArt team members when hosting events and challenges, to help their projects thrive.   Are you ready to be a community ambassador?
