DeviantArt is proud to announce a new opportunity for deviants to contribute to the community at a deeper level! The Ambassador program is designed to give deviants a chance to bring artists together, offer ways for artists to hone their skills or try new things, and help shape the future of the community.  Deviants eligible to participate in the Ambassador program are those who are co-founders or top contributors of official DeviantArt groups or affiliated groups. There are many factors that determine whether or not deviants might be a good fit for the Ambassador program, but all potential ambassadors should: Frequently run or organize community events Routinely be active participants in their community Consistently encourage and cheer on other artists Ambassadors will have direct contact with and support from DeviantArt team members when hosting events and challenges, to help their projects thrive.   Are you ready to be a community ambassador?

Fillory is calling! This week’s Fan Art Friday is dedicated to The Magicians, the beloved TV series inspired by Lev Grossman’s novels. From Brakebills classrooms to spell-casting chaos, complex friendships, and worlds that refuse to stay neatly separated, The Magicians has inspired artists to explore magic that’s messy, emotional, and deeply human. We’re showcasing fan art that captures the heart, humor, and heartbreak of the series. “Did I do something brave to save my friends, or did I finally find a way to kill myself?” — Quentin Coldwater “Life is basically a solo sport. But sometimes you need a team.” — Eliot Waugh Whether you fell in love with the characters, the worlds, or the beautifully broken way magic works, the fandom continues to keep The Magicians alive through art. Thank you to everyone sharing their passion, creativity, and love for this series because magic may not fix everything, but art helps us feel it all. Explore previous editions in our Fan Art

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.  [DEVIATION] Next, Nicole Keller (@nicolikai) outlined benefits of the Launchpad program, and really underlined DeviantArt as a place where artists can foster community and build a
