AE 1: Project 10,000.

Project 10,000 aims to showcase 10 Deviations that should have 10,000+ views. This can be based on the artwork's originality and/or the story/emotion behind the art piece. Hand-picked by Kellsyy herself, these artworks show excelling talent.

Remember to support these art pieces with a comment or favourite!

AE 2: Words Of Gold.

Words Of Gold features some of the best poetry/stories in DeviantArt (generally under-rated). Also chosen by Kellsyy, each text is able to creatively interweave words. This creates messages that touch their audience deeply.

If you need a new author/poet to follow, check the ones shown!

AE 3: Under 1,000.

Under 1,000 aspires to help artworks under 1,000 views/favourites gain recognition. Although these artists don't gain many views, their art proves that beauty is not always seen by all. This is also selected by Kellsyy.

AE 4: Spread Love!

Spread Love! headlines 3 talented artists who are passionate about the arts/community. Kellsyy chooses to put these artists in the spotlight because of their artistic gifts and/or contributions to the DeviantArt community. 

Say hello to Volume 3's featured artists...

Featured Artist 1: MarioFegan.

MarioFegan seems to have a gifted eye for Traditional Landscapes. Every masterpiece he creates is with a sense of peace, an aspect most artworks fail to capture. With a loyal band of 623 watchers (as of April 30, 2019), Mario conquers the heart of many viewers from the comfort of Ecuador. Show your support to one of the most under-rated artists of the Traditional Art community!

Featured Artist 2: Poopikat.

Featured Artist 3: Takamin.

Thought you needed a $3000 Tablet to be the best artist? Think again; Takamin defies the odds with only a pen. With a detailed, professional, and bold outlook on his artworks, Ivan proves that expensive tools do not mean an outstanding artist. Proudly presenting the Filipino community, Kellsyy is honoured to name him Art Exhibition Volume 3's Featured Artist!

AE 5: Hall Of Artists!

Hall Of Artists! proudly displays 10 artworks chosen by the DeviantArt Community. Regardless of medium, popularity, and story, each artwork in Hall Of Artists! showcases what some consider to be the best of DeviantArt.
