A new chapter in the deviantART story has begun, with a new Today Page focused on outreach and engagement, telling our stories and bringing a devious lens to the world around us. We seek to monitor, analyze, report on, and most importantly, be a part of encouraging the bond between art, life and the human spirit using the pulse of the first digitally-oriented art collective and in ways older, established media cannot.

Many online communities are capable of providing the loving curative support needed by their worldwide members. But deviantART, for me, with the message of the special powers of ART at its core, is not just an instrument of personal peer-to-peer communication and healing, but a massive supernova-strength engine for global transformation. The very nature of art, the gift of its giving, can be a powerful form of communal and personal engagement.

It is intended to be the first stimulus you seek every morning to complement your cup of coffee and a rich brew made of artists, writers, news, pop culture, communication, education, and fearless peer-to-peer connection.

We encourage deviants to send feedback on how you want The Today Page to evolve and we welcome suggestions on just what stories we should be covering. We need your help to build something truly amazing. Let’s go down this road together.

Here is the email address that the Today Page team will be monitoring for any suggestions or ideas that you may have. I will be in the Newsdesk chat every Sunday to hear your feedback and talk about where we are going each week. Let’s build this together.
