Share your feedback on Messages

Apr 3, 2026

It's been four months since Messages launched, and we've been keeping a close eye on community feedback, from the things you're enjoying to what you'd like to see next. There's still a lot more we'd love to do with Messages that didn't make it into the first version. So we want to hear from you! Messages will be getting some improvements soon, and your feedback will help shape what gets worked on first. Some possible features are: The ability to pin messages Larger numbers of participants in group chats To assign moderators in group chats and channels Shareable invite links to join channels Subscriber-only channels tied to a Subscription tier Which of those would you use most? What else would you like to see added, improved, or changed? Leave your thoughts in the comments. And if someone shares an idea you’d love to see, like their comment to help us spot the popular requests. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on where Messages should go next!

LA Deviants: Hunt for Art IRL

Mar 19, 2026

Ready to touch grass? Well, it's LA, so it's not advised to touch the sidewalks necessarily, but get outside and find art for prizes! (And we're talking prizes BESIDES the one we all get by going outside and walking around: health!) [DEVIATION] Some of DeviantArt's own artists and artworks have begun appearing on advertisements in the greater LA area. On billboards? On bus stop signage? In skywriting? You'll just have to find out for yourself! The hunt is on: [DEVIATION] Take a peek at this lil map and start your search. Once you've found one, snap a selfie (or an "ussie" if you're hunting with friends). Repeat for four more! Submit your photographic evidence on DeviantArt with #DAStreetArt26, and tag the artist. Reply to this journal with your 5 submissions. [DEVIATION] [DEVIATION] [DEVIATION] The first five deviants to successfully complete this challenge will get sent a DeviantArt bag. This bag can be used to hold art supplies, tablets, sunscreen – anything you need for your

Those stats at the top of your Profile are getting extra nuggets of information! [DEVIATION] The green DeviantArt from long ago housed juicy statistics that gave a more full picture of how each deviant participates across the site, not just the basics of their deviation and watcher count. [DEVIATION] Now, depending on a deviant's level of involvement in various areas of the site, even more numbers will show up in the Profile header to better highlight creative contributions and community activity. This update is rolling out gradually, so some deviants may see it first.

Find spring all around you by Team, journal

Find spring all around you

Apr 7, 2026

[DEVIATION] Spring is so much more than new blossoms and eggs hatching. A brave wildflower bursting through a crack in the sidewalk. The rumble of far-away thunderstorms. Needing a sweater in the morning but shedding it for a lighter shirt in the afternoon. [DEVIATION] To celebrate the season, share a deviation that reflects the feeling of spring for you, whether that’s blooming flowers, shifting light, lush landscapes, soft textures, or small everyday details that feel full of new life. [DEVIATION] [EMOTE]Spring forth[EMOTE] Create a deviation that captures the feeling or color of spring. Submit it to DeviantArt as a deviation with the tag #SpringForth. [DEVIATION] [DEVIATION] Want to earn an extra badge? Post your deviation to Reddit and drop a link to your post in the comments below. Staff will be awarding Quartz, Hype, and Diamond badges in the comments. However spring shows up around you, share how you interpret it! [DEVIATION]

Some minor updates are being made to make discovering and navigating Groups a bit easier. Here’s what’s new: Groups sidebar link update. The Groups link in the homepage sidebar now takes you directly to Group galleries, so you can hop straight into browsing Group art. Coming soon: (February 24 update: These features are now live!) New Group counter on deviations. Your deviation stats will show how many Groups a deviation has been added to, with quick access to those Groups. (Don’t worry, if the count is zero, it won’t appear to viewers.) Group suggestions for non-members. If you haven’t joined a Group yet, the “Add to group” dropdown on deviation pages will include suggested Groups to help you get started.

DevMeet in Los Angeles: Launchpad Recap

Mar 24, 2026

A few steps from the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, deviants gathered for a DeviantMeet at historic EastWest Studios for an evening of inspiration, community, and art appreciation. Artwork provided by the community was hung on panels for all arriving guests to see while a curated playlist set the vibes for an energetic event. Toward the back walls were snacks and exclusive DeviantArt merch like hats, stickers, and 25th anniversary coloring books. [DEVIATION] In the same building where countless records from the last several decades were produced, sparks of creativity were in the air from the start. Host @TheLaurenVerse kicked things off with humor and a dab of chaos. CEO Moti Levy (@Wannabby) was unable to attend in person, but he welcomed guests with a video and kicked off a kindred evening.
