Despite the odd sounding name, Deviantart is a much loved and well known social networking site for artists and lovers of art around the world. Started in 2000 as a site where amateur and professional artists could share and display their work, the site now boasts over 13 million members and hosts artists working in every art form imaginable.

Because the site is so big it’s divided into groupings of various art and artists – and you can find a group for just about any kind of art. If you spend a little time looking through the groups you’ll quickly discover that the talent represented is truly amazing and inspiring. Since inspiration – just like beauty – is often in the eyes of the beholder, check out these 10 groups and see if you gets your creative juices flowing.

Photography

It’s hard to think about art without thinking about photography – some of the most impactful art of the modern age had been captured in a photo. These three groups are devoted to photography

1. Fine Art Photography

This group describes themselves as having the highest expectations of their members.

2. Young Photo Club

This group only accepts un-altered photographs taken by members.

Mixed Media Art

Art – both traditional and digital – is still an awesome way for people to express themselves, as you will see in these two groups

4. Traditional Media

The group will accept and critique your art but does not allow complaining or ranting if you don’t like what they have to say.

5. Digital Artists

This group lists itself as a Premier Digital Art Gallery and wants you to only submit work you are really proud of.
