DeviantArt was established on August 7, 2000, by people including Angelo Sotira, Scott Jarkoff, and Matthew Stephens. DeviantArt is an American online art community that features artwork, photography, videography, and other media.
DeviantArt is a community of artists and art lovers that provides a platform for both upcoming and experienced artists to display, market, and share their works.
By 2008, DeviantArt received roughly 36 million visitors annually. In 2011, DeviantArt ranked as the thirteenth-largest social network with around 3.8 million weekly views. More than 25 million users and more than 250 million submissions were on the website by 2017. Later in 2017, Wix.com purchased the company.
You can display your original artwork for free on DeviantArt.com. However, you can pay for a monthly or yearly subscription that allows you access to more features and capabilities, just like other online social networking services. Paid subscribers to DeviantArt have access to ad-free browsing as well as additional privileges.
Does DeviantART delete inactive accounts?
DeviantArt simply gives you the choice to deactivate your account; but, if you don’t activate it again within 21 days, your account will be permanently erased. DeviantArt, therefore, deletes inactive accounts.
