A Milestone For Digital Art 🎨
A few weeks ago, DeviantArt hosted the DeviantArt Protect Pop-Up Gallery in our Los Angeles offices. The first real-world gallery for both Web2 and Web3 artists featuring only art safeguarded by DeviantArt Protect held everything from traditional paintings to sculptures, photographs, and 3-dimensional artwork.
The local art community, including deviants @Ladowska, @Firefly-Path, @kaycemDA, and many more, attended to celebrate art and our common goal of a safer internet for artists.
Our Curators 🤝
Moonlight Arts Collective founder Jen DiSisto showcased traditional art, including work from Melissa Villaseñor, artist and comedian on Saturday Night Live, and @brandonboyd, painter, songwriter, and lead singer of Incubus.
Eric Spivak, the founder of New Friendship Tech and Web3 community leader, curated digital works ranging from the striking photography of Vince Fraser to eye-catching 3D renders from Suki Violet Su.
Mary Lai showcased works from her collaborative NFT project Hungry Artist, which featured a diverse representation of styles ranging from the sculpture work of professional skateboarder Stefan Janoski, to glitch art from @nicedayJules.
Safeguard Your Art 🛡️
DeviantArt Protect’s ability to support and safeguard artists is just one of the many perks of Core Membership on DeviantArt. Rather than hoping fans will discover unauthorized repostings of art across the web, artists who use DeviantArt Protect can get notifications of illicit submissions, leaving more time to focus on creating the next masterpiece.

What about the racism in the company?
An Israeli employee told a story about getting a DNA test; he said he had 1% African blood, then laughed and said he had 1% n** her blood. Three other Israeli employees laughed out loud.
Three Israeli employees then made fun of an Eastern European employee's accent and called him Borat. They then laughed out loud. It was disturbing.
When we told the current CEO nothing happened, the employees received no disciplinary actions. HR didn't investigate; all of the employees involved still work there.
The company has a habit of placing black employees underneath white employees regardless of skill or experience level. A black employee with many years of experience, including working in at Tinder, was placed underneath a white employee with no experience or skills in sales. A senior black designer/art director was placed underneath a white employee with fewer skills.
The executive team has no diversity.
