We are the origin of art, but that is just the start. We are the group fighting for the freedom of artistic expression. We are developing the cultural context for how art is created, discovered, and shared because we think that everyone should have access to it.
Over 61 million people have signed up with us, and every month we get over 45 million different visitors. Tens of thousands of original works of art are uploaded daily by our users, known as deviants, ranging from paintings and sculptures to digital art, pixel art, movies, and anime.
Because we are a welcoming and encouraging group, artists adore us. We support them as they express themselves to discover who they are. To help them develop into better, more successful artists, we give them the tools, resources, and visibility.
By supporting their creativity, we encourage people to produce art. We are compelled to foster it in others because it flows through us and we are powerless to stop it. It’s called DeviantArt.
